~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 28 Jun 2002 : 00:58:50 Setup: Mac IIcx 20 meg RAM 250 meg SCSI HD Apple 150e CD drive I've got the A/UX 3.0 CD, and the boot floppy. The dialog that comes up eventually gets stuck on "Launching" indefinetely. The CD is accessible by the drive, and the little busy light flashes like crazy until it gets to "Launching", and then stops and freezes the machine. What gives? ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0

It helps to make the floppy in another SWIM drive (another mac of similar vintage, if you have one of those around and can access the floppy image files from it somehow.) Never give up until you've made the floppy about 4 times on 4 different disks. JM2C Apple. UNIX.
