looking for Motorola PowerStack manuals, info, Any model

The systems I have where used for software development mostly. Since NT was to run on a many different processors, a lot of software companies had to test there software on all system. I would believe quit a lot of money was spent trying to cover all of the Processors and systems. One of mine has a "X86 on RISC engine" with many software tools. These are the PC looking Mini tower and low profile desk tops. 133 mhz. Theses where quit fast in the time. (12 years ago). The later systems where mainly use for Severs. Look like a "Bose Radio" but taller. One thing to watch for is the boot screen. this may not be setup right.. These have a lot of setup options. I finally just install another drive, made a 10 meg FAT partition from the startup menu and loaded NT4.0. It loads very quickly, makes the NT partition, looks just like a PC install. When it finished I could see what the bios setting where and then reinstalled the original drive . Make any needed partition changes and away it went.. I installed the original drive on a Intel NT box (second drive) and backed up the drive first. Theses have both a FAT and NT partitions. It uses the FAT partition to get it going. It can also have other OS partitions also. The boot screen has a lot of options that have to be right in order for it to boot. Mine had lost there configuration info so it defaulted to bad settings. These will boot from a NT Cdrom,. install NT , Load the "FAT" partition with the needed boot files. When finished it reloads the boot menu system Cmos with the needed path statements. I used a password tool on the Intel box to change the administator Passwd on the Motorola drive. So If you got a drive with it ??? look at the drive first, best on another machine, to see if anything is on it. Your not going to find much for these any longer. So make the best of what you have. The FDOS program which is in ROM, wont help any if the boot partition info is bad. This gives you many of the MS-Dos type commands to access and or copy files with out booting the system If not then re-load NT, AIX or some other unix variant - Jerry -------------- Original message from Michael Lee <mikelee at tdh.com>: --------------
