I have finally gotten my GRiD 1530 laptop going!!! WHOO HOO!!! But, I
have several questions...
The processor problem...
It's a i386... I'd like to get one of those 386 to 486 upgrade processors
but, they seem to not be available. Can anyone tell me what I have to do
to rig a 486 in there?
The Hard drive oddity...
Part I
The laptop came with a Conner 3104 (100Mb) hard drive... I put this drive
into my pentium desk top and used the segate software to verify the disk,
then I formatted & did a scandisk, and loaded DOS. When it went to write
COMMAND.COM and a few final files, it gave me a bunch of write errors... I
took the same drive and put it in my old 486 desk top (with a NON-EIDE)
controller and everything loaded fine!!!! Why did this happen???
Part II
I have a 420Mb Conner drive that mates to the laptop's interface card. I
loaded DOS and what not on it and then used the GRiD setup program to set
the bios to the correct parameters and it still gives me a disc boot error!
Why won't this drive work?
