Does anyone have some experience with an Octagon Systems 5066?

How do I get it to boot QNX?

TIA, Jeff

It’s one idea to boot from floppy connected across LPT connector slot.
I’m right?

The two issues I’m having are:

  1. I’m not sure how to “Build a new BIOS”, as the doc states.

  2. With the pre-made BIOS (qnx5066.bin) file is loaded, it gets
    all the way to the floppy .boot file and then re-boots.

I’m not sure what I’m doing (wrong).

Thanks for the help,

~ Jeff
