I have a Sharp PC-9000 that no longer has a HD (it basically eats them). I use it when I travel, to access the Internet, and usually boot up DOS and use Arachne. However, I thought it would be nice if I could use linux instead.
This machine has the "interchangable" floppy & CD-ROM drives. To use both, you hook the floppy up to the parallel port.
I made boot floppys on another PC, and was able to get Knoppix to boot to the point where it attempts to find the Knoppix CD to continue the process. At that point, it is not able to detect my CD-ROM drive.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this type of machine?
Thanks!
