Wait never mind..it's up and running now after a few power cycles....and I'm backing up everything to my pc. Thanks to All, I WILL be asking more later... T.H.x. Devon bet I can rig something up. After fiddling around some more (thanks for the info, all), I've got it to work...kind of...When it starts it now says "System IPL from Hard disk in progress". Then no more... I know the disk booted before ...I could type garbage back when I was getting garbage (about 4 times before it quit)... It would be great if you could send me a boot disk... Televideo hasn't replied to my e-mails yet...I'll give them a few more days..
