Over the last weekend my wife bought at a garage sale a Compaq
Prosignia 500 and a NEC monitor and alot more goodies all for $10.00,
WOW but now after turning the big beast
on what I have on the monitor is "Configuration Nonvolatile Memory
Invalid Initialization Aborted" and what follows on the same screen
is the press "F1" key to continue or "F10" key for System Utilities,
when pressing F1 you get Invalid partition table, F10 you get The
System Utilities are not available on this system Press any key to
continue which brings you to: Invalid partition table.
Realizing the guy she bought it from said it doesn't have any memory,
but didn't go into what exactly that meant, no physical memory? I am
thinking that at this moment. The only thing that registers when
starting it is:
"147456kb" Detected, somewhere at 150mb
1. Processor running at 150mhz
2. 172-EISA Configuration Nonvolatile Memory Invalid
Initialization Aborted and then the following:
SCSI Devise Detected - System Board, SCSI ID 0: DPES-
SCSI Devise Detected - System Board, SCSI ID 1: FUJITSU-
m2954S-512
SCSI Devise Detected - System Board, SCSI ID 2: COMPAQ-
ST32550N
SCSI Devise Detected - System Board, SCSI ID 3: COMPAQ-
DPES-31080
SCSI Devise Detected - System Board, SCSI ID 4: ARCHIVE- 4326XX
27871 XXX
SCSI Devise Detected - System Board, SCSI ID 5: COMPAQ
CRD-254V
So can anyone give me some advise as to what I have, and what I can do
as far as getting it to work or do I have to go to the shop? Hoping
"NOT".
( added at 4:20am Sun/31st/10/04 ): Also I have been to the hp/compaq
forum and found the Configuration Utility but have not been
successfull in downloading from their site for some reason, would
anyone have another link besides the hp/compaq one. I have done a
google and cannot find another site that offers this download, and
would someone be kind enough to explain what is a "Prosignia 500" and
can I put a Windows OS into it?
