Re: Anyone Load PathPilot yet?
I got mine and loaded it on a new 1 TB hdd.
The disk has some scars on the face of it, probably from bouncing around in a box with the Mesa board with no padding.
First install cycle left me non-functional (flashed to the Tormach screen, than dropped me to a terminal window saying "INIT= ARGUMENT".
So I tried again, and this time went into bios after the install and updated the boot disks to include the new hdd. It worked just fine then. Started out by selecting which machine (1100), and than it flashed the EEPROM on the Mesa 6i25 card, and requested a restart.
No problems, seem to run the machine just fine.
The annoying thing is when you say EXIT, it drops you to a gray screen and never shuts off the computer. Your only choice then is to toggle power off, hopefully not screwing up anything on the HDD in the process.
One other thing is without access to any OS controls you can't chose the resolution of the screen. I have a 1920x1080 screen (as does 70% of the world), and it doesn't look like it is running at native resolution; seems like it is not as crisp as it could be, but I could be wrong; maybe Tormach is scaling the graphics.
