Hi,
Try the instructions below. You need to leave the battery out for an
extended period of time (recommend over night)

Steps to a brighter ANS future.. 1 catch tho it hangs patrway through the
install.
1) unplug the damn thing.
2) depending if you have anything on your hard disk switch it with the
tape drive if it does (so it don't boot from it)
3) take the battery out and press the little red button
4) leave the battery out for 10-20 minutes
5) when putting the battery back in hold down the red button
6) put the _NEW_ installer.coff from the dusers site if you want to try
internal drive.. the old installer pre-ans if you want external drive.
7) turn it on... make sure the key is in the service position
8) make sure no data cd's are in the drive
9) type boot fd:installer.coff
10) try the installation.
NOTE!!! if it fails start all over.. the pram has SOMETHING written to it
to make successive floppy boots impossable.
Hope this helps
