well diconnected from lan, used a new floppy, used tformat to do a hard core format in dos, i did get something ...a black screen with a cursor running from left to right about the 2" from the bottom of the screen, and only did it when i hit a key. also some characters in bottom right corner starting as avid then bunch unknown characters. say bout 4. no way to duplicate it lol.
