This weekend I took my retro machine offline to do a SSD install. I cloned the IDE to the 4GB disk-on-modlue just fine, but whatever I did I could not get it to boot to it as primary HDD. It would give me an "invalid system disk" error even though it was sys'd. I could install it as a slave, and boot to it, but not as a primary drive. I gave up on it and cloned the drive to a 32GB IDE and got that installed, so at least I have a clone when the inevitable happens. 


So the BBS is on a Stinkpad? Pretty cool....
