Hi, well this is amazing. It's only the second time some one has known what I'm
talking about!
I have 6 LANstations a mix of 16s and 20s. Only one of them will boot which I boot from
its hdd or a Netwear 3.12 server.
Iv tried all sorts over the years (about 15).
These don't have the infrared system but in specs Iv read on the bios there is mention
of a security bit on the boot floppy. I need some one that worked on them back in the
day.
It's SO frustrating, as is the way of playing with old tech.

Hi all,
Dose anybody know about Mitsubishi Apricots (1990ish)? They are of
interest to me as they were the first PC I used and I now have a few.
I'm having issues with getting them to boot from a floppy. Iv done some
reading around the subject and from what I understand I need a secure
boot floppy.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Peter,
Which Apricot models do you have? I have lusted after an Apricot VX FT since it graced
the cover of Byte oh so many years ago!
