1. Blow settings back to factory defaults.
2. Upgrade the Bios to 1.2.180.
3. Upgrade the OS from Version 1 to Version 2.
4. Upgrade the OS from Version 2 to Version 3.4.803.
5. "Power down and install new drives as M/S then setback and watch it work."
Thanks Again,

THE PHINALE (version 1.9.9)
1. Completed - Used both reset switch and Admin GUI
2. Completed - The first few attempts garnered error messages indicating that my bios was pre-historic and required the upgrade progam from the v1 CD which when executed asked for a .hex file for the bios upgrade. Since that animal was nonexistent (as far as I could research) things were not looking good. But with some moral support and a pep talk from Blue68f100, the next day we prevailed!
3. Completed - Text book
4. Completed - Text book upgrade, but the reboot hung. And a subsequent reset and reboot showed the drives configured as a strange JBOD distribution; and the Admin GUI > Disk Utilities > Disk Configuration, said only that the drives needed to be formatted before configuration. The three configuration options were not presented. So I formatted again using Admin GUI but nothing changed. After a couple of debug formats things where still unchanged so I tried the Admin GUI again and lo 'n behold the Drives were equal JBODs and the three options for configuration had appeared in the Disk Utilities. As I told Blue68f100, 'happy'... but go figure??
4a. Upgrade memory to 64mb. Failed (finicky Snap! 2000 v1 ??? Ref Post #4 this thread). Memory checks good in P233mx machine.
So here I am:
Snap! 2000 v1
Software – 3.4.803
Hardware – 1.1.0
SN – 25xxx
Bios – 1.2.180
Memory – 32MB 72 pin EDO
Drives – 2 x 6.4GB WD
AWAITING Larger disks (<137GB of course) TO:
5. "Power down and install new drives as M/S then setback and watch it work."
Thanks to all for the help and especially Blue68f100 for believing it
COULD be done as well as serving as a Knowledge Area Expert.
Gratefully,
