ah yes, the first ps1 series to come out. i presume its a 2011-c34 or m01. you
might want to try this trick:
with the machine off, press and hold down both mouse buttons, then power on.
when it posts, let the buttons go. that will force an autoconfig, and make it
boot from rom again. that trick works on all ps1 models. you shoulda made your
disk backups when it was running, but too late now. you can still order the
core software from ibm. i think it's ~$45. ring the helpcentre at 800.772.2227
Yes, its a 2011-c34. I have no problem booting from the rom. I hear
the hd spin up but then it slows down again and the light stays on. I
get a 1701 error and an indication to press f1. After pressing f1 the
computer boots from either the floppy or the rom.
I wish I could have made backups first but it was doa when I got it. Do
you know if the parts (hd floppy) are interchangeable with ps/2
hardware?
Thanks for the software source tip.
