Some success with a age old GRiD problem

[AmigaJules]

Thanks to Klyball for his expertise in modifying my 1530 BIOS, I now have a machine that boots from CF card!

Photos of the install & boot process attached.

At boot I have to wait about 45 seconds for the error message to pop up, but once I press F1, it boots!

I'm also including photos of the setup utility (it complains about the disk and lists the drive as type 224) and the ez-bios drive parameters.

I've got laplink installed and a copy of Minix for DOS.

Good job. Did it cost something for you?

The BIOS modification?

No, I think Klyball likes a challenge and kindly did it in his spare time.

The first post in this thread has details on how it's done if you're handy with 8086 assembly and BIOS programming... I am very much not so I'm grateful for his assistance.
