Here is the Specs Motherboard - lightning series w/ built-in SCSI support using an Adaptic 7840 chip CPU - 100Mhz Pentium Memory - 8 megs Hard drive - Conner 1.2 gig SCSI-II CD-ROM - Pioneer 4x SCSI-II Video card - Diamond Stealth When I tried to run install from the cd-rom I would get to the point where it would create the root partition on the Harddrive, but then it would just hang. I believe it is having some difficultly with the SCSI adaptor. Is there anything I can do to get this going? I also tried doing the install from floppy, with no luck. One last thing as a test I acquired anothe HD this time an IDE drive and I did a floppy install and this worked. It just decides to give me errors again when I try to install more programs from Disk 1 in the SCSI CD-ROM. Any help here would be appriciated. Thank You
