- Summary: What's the problem???
-
- Hiya! I'm all smiles after having gotten the other T6k which my church had
- stuck away in its basement... it even had a boot-disk with it! However...
-
- The boot disk doesn't boot (I pressed <REPEAT>-<BREAK> to trigger the boot
- from floppy), but the hard drive *does* boot, sometimes. But then...
-
- What I get is a prompt which says "Tandy Xenix 3 (32) [...]" or some such,
- then "Xenix Boot>". Well, I didn't know what the answer to *that* was, so
- I hit "?". It told me to hit <ENTER> or <F1> for Xenix, or to type "xenix"
- or "diskutil". None of these options worked.
-
- No matter what I type, it says "Program not found."
-
- What's the problem? Any ideas?
