Re: Need help installing RH7.0 on 486 w/ Orchid SW32

Thomas,

I'm sorry to report that it didn't work.  I didn't find a file called
oldcdrom.img on the CD.  I did find one drivers.img and tried that, but it
didn't have a driver for the Sony connected to an Orchid.

I've decided to give up on trying to resurrect this PC.

Thanks for all the help.
