Equity II+. The thing went dead on me last fall and I have spent the
last 9 months handing it round to various recovery people who can't
figure out what to do with it. The drive appears to be working properly,
but the computer won't boot even as far as the BIOS (I think). For a
long time it prompted me for the reference diskette, which I presume
gave it information about what sort of things it had, but it ceased to
be able to read the floppy drive.
Have you tried booting it in a different machine?
