Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Re: IIX doesn't boot, only green screen

2007-04-18 by Laurent Lemaire

Hello Hans,

I don't know if you have some spare parts or access to another
Fairlight in working condition... It would help a lot.

The way I would do the analysis... I would unplug all the useless
borad which are not needed to boot an OS9 floppy. Yes, you can
boot OS9 on a IIx.

So the cards that have to stay are the following one:
 Q256 - Q133 - Q209 - Q219 - QFC9

Please refer to the following webpage for their descriptions :

Then if your CMI still doesn't boot, you will need to swap boards
with another one to find out which one(s) is/are dead ...

If you need an OS9 boot floppy, I can provide one.

Hope it helps.

    Laurent.
