    I get "Access Denied" -- when you set up the sharing, did you select

    Sorry, it should work now :-)

    Yes, it did. I watched both videos, hoping for a flash of inspiration,
    but I've got nothing. If the Necroware nwX287 was the problem, I would
    have expected a failure during automatic configuration, and that's not
    the case here.

    Once it's configured, will the system boot from the refdisk if the SCSI
    adapter is removed?

    I see the message about the ADF for the adapter in Slot 8 not being
    available.

    How did you add the @ ADF, C ADF, and the * DGS files to the refdisk? I
    see the 2-8 MB memory adapter, it must recognize the POSIDs, at least...

    Hi all,

    I have got a model 8565sx, and I have some problems
    to get it to boot from SCSI Hdd.

    I have tried with a IBM SCSI / A adapter, IBM SCSI / A with cache and Future Domain. But I can not get it to boot if the sytem has been configurated with the refdisk.

    If the SCSI controller is not configurated, I can boot the machine after the 165 code by pressing the F1 key.

    I have made 2 videoes that shows the problem.
    Maybe one of you have got an idea to what the problem is ??.

    I have changed the Dallas RTC with a Necroware nwX287 RTC module - could that be the problem ??.

    Do you still have the original Dallas RTC module? If so, you could
    attempt the "rotary tool surgery" on it to attach an external coin cell
    and see if the system works properly again.

    All that Schimmis is not gold...

    Stefan, WHICH version is the one needed by the 65SX?

    You must... choose wisely...
