Yes, many.  You have pointed me to the right track.  The first one I tried
took the second copy of installation disk, but died on diskette two. 
Well, being around for a long time, I have few discarded computers to take
apart.  This will be a long night, I will report on this little later or
tomorrow.

All set up correctly.

Here lies some sort of a problem.  The CD-ROM does not boot eCS 1.1 nor
1.2.  As I mentioned before, it does not boot Windows 2000 either.  The
components for this system were purchased about a year ago, but I just
retired and have time to put it together.

Thanks Stan
