Comterm Hyperion - Boot disk?

There is a special version of DOS for the machine (as the other Doug mentioned) but both of my machines are capable of booting from standard MS/PC-DOS disks. Someone on Fido reported that his Hyperion will only boot with the original disk, though, but I think he was trying to make DD floppies for it in a HD drive. The second Hyperion that I dragged home initially wouldn't boot (I don't have genuine Hyperion disks) but I opened the machine up and put it back together and the drive has been working since. I don't know what I did to get it to work. Nudged the head loose? :) Unfortunately now the screen doesn't work, and I haven't had time to go in and see what I did wrong. Hopefully over the holidays I'll find time. It's a pain getting to the Hyperion's floppy drives, BTW. You have to remove just about every other piece of the machine's innards first. -- Doug Spence ds_spenc(a)alcor.concordia.ca http://alcor.concordia.ca/~ds_spenc/
