Hi again,

I definitely have a problem here !
The SRM comes up and tries to start ARC , which fails.
(The screen shows: setting up console mode , or something, and just hangs
there)

I've tried a failsafe floppy , this starts loading , and when it stops ,
nothing happens ,
no video , no nothing.

So now I have a very dead multia ?

Any hints ?

Jaap.

Hi

I just tried to switch my multia from SRM to the ARC console,
but it hangs while "setting up console mode"

It looks like "bit rot" in the firmware. (It had been powered off for a
while...)
 I guess I need to restore the firmware ,by booting into a failsafe floppy
and flashing things again.
(Or is there a way to have the system come up in SRM , without trying to
start the ARC ?)

Anyway , I'm looking for these floppies. Does anyone know where I can find
this ?
Or have them around ?

Any help appreciated,

TIA,

Jaap.
