From those files how would i install SnapOS?
Any help/suggestions appreciated 
Paul - If i cant get it to work I'd be be interested in selling it to you assuming the parts are compatible. |
The 1100 and 1000 boards are compatible.
The files you downloaded are OS upgrade files I believe, and to install them you need a disk that already has an OS installed previously.
Alternatively if you can get hold of an image of the Sanp OS then you can start from scratch with a brand new disk.
I have a 3.4.805 OS image and it is about 40M in size and I can give you a copy if you want. If someone owns a FTP site I don't mind uploading it.
After you get the image you can use a disk copy program to restore the OS image to your new disk.
I highly recommend to use tomsrbrt boot disk because the program is just one floppy disk. It is free to download from
http://www.toms.net/rb/
The tomsrbrt is effectively a micro version of linux but it is sufficient to the job we need. Use dd command to restore the image. Details of the procedure are mentioned in previous messages.
After the image is restored you will get a working Snap if your electronics are healthy.
