Possibly AMX Super Art?

Not a proper service & maintenance manual, but this may be of some use - and there may be more info to be found if you dig around the site a bit. M.

Elementary problems are what you provided. Those problems were solved. No problem. Just a shame that you went the long way around. Middle of field Charente Maritime, FR

"Rattler" - I ran a rather large and exclusive OS/2 network for a rather large UK agency. OS/2 was favoured (<<see that "u"? It's there for a reason.) over Windows for about 5 months until its absolute demise, due to the fact that it was utterly useless. Yes, Charles. I have a lot of OS/2...

I'd love to see how that pans out. Imaging an old HDD ... not hard. If one has a separate (working - probably Linux) machine that can read CHS and LBA. And the requisite knowledge to do so. Congrats for chatting with Charlie and talking him (slowly) through the obvious to get issues sorted...

For the simple reason that SCSI was largely irrelevant in PCs used in the home. All people wanted would be a hard drive and an optical drive, which a simple IDE controller (often integrated on the mainboard along with serial, parallel, sound and video controllers) could handle with ease. Why...

I had a similar Tosh years ago - pretty sure you'll need the CardSoft package from (? I think) SystemSoft. I'm sure you'll be able to find it with a simple Google search. M
