Yup, I spent a few hours as well, as did others. Nice to have corroboration on the installing of System6, I suspect a few people are going to be relieved with this. Now to bump up the hard drives. You mention you have a newly formatted hard drive in your machine, was it a 20M as defined in the 9100 Service floppy (RV4) or something else? I'd really like to get rid of my very noisy drive...it is giving me a headache! We do need a copy of the RV6 Service Floppies... John :-#)# At 09:18 PM 30/09/2002 -0400, Corey Stup wrote:

More news, the RV6 floppies work fine with my 9100 (was RV4 prior). I wonder if they dropped the copy protection by then.
This is bitter sweet for me. I spent lots of hours working on removing the V4.0 protection and had it about 80+% complete. With 6.0, it appears that all the protection has been removed. Even if these V6.0 images aren't yet coded, the system allowed the floppies to remain write protected on boot AND on install to a freshly formatted HD. YAY!
I was able to make the 3 system disks, take a newly formatted HD and install V6.0. Now to make the programmers disks.
I will probably have my "spare" 9100FT available for sale if anyone is interested. Will have a clean install on a working HD. Has the video card, but no Fluke keyboard.
