After reading a contribution in the group archives regarding a shot floppy drive 
preventing the unit from moving on to the hard drive to boot, I went out and got a 
floppy drive cleaner on a wing/prayer, and immediately following the floppy drive 
cleaning, my board booted from the hard drive and has continued to do so ever 
since.  The floppy drive must have been dirty enough to have mistakenly been 
thinking there was an unformatted disk in the drive, even though it was empty.  I 
wouldn't have believed it without seeing it.
So far it's looking like that was the WHOLE problem.  
Can't boot?  Try cleaning your floppy drive first and then persue more costly options 
if that fails.  I got the "Kennsington" cleaning kit at Office Depot for about $13.00.
I'm still looking forward to getting the larger drive and installing that, but the old 
Connor seems to be still working.
So far,.....Quite relieved,
