No, Its Not because it has those long flimsy skinny legs!

Really I brought my Flamingo DEC 3000 Model 500 Home. Set it in the
basement and the thing won't boot. It had had DEC UNIX on it ....I
had rescued it from from my former employer- it wasn't a PC so they
could find any takers...


Now the Panel cycles up and goes through a series of numbers Gets
to #63 and retries 5 more times and then posts a couple of numbers
in the 70's like 72... 74.... and then stops with DD lit in the
status indicators.. It does all this without bringing up the console.
?? Any help out there???. I dont have the distribution media, or
tape media for back- ups, for this machine If I could force a boot
off CD?

I have one CD which is an alpha version of linux called Potato?

Any thoughts? I am in central Ohio.
