Message-ID: <9011031005.AA11189@echo.canberra.edu.au> Date: 3 Nov 90 14:05:54 GMT Sender: news@daver.bungi.com Lines: 22 Approved: news@daver.bungi.com Heloo Everyone, I got the parts from Steve yesterday, picked the soldering iron this morning, and not 10 hours later (8 pm EST) the leds lighted up, the red and green rs232-tester flickered, and two minutes later (I had nothing connected, having expected the worse...) the welcome message from the rom monitor confirmed that I had liftoff. Next the disk will be attempted and then MINIX. No real problems, on first firing it did not come up, so I re-seated everything (I got red thumbs now) and second time everything was singing. George and Dave must have done something right, and not a single part was missing from Steven's kit - it was worth the wait. Thanks you all. Now, where is that monitor doco? the PI program? seems like that was years ago.... -- Regards Eyal
