I've posted this to the Coco list, but thought I'd try here too...

I finally got my MM1 this week.  I ordered a 1 meg unit with IO board and 1
floppy drive.  When the machine arrived, I booted it up and it worked fine.

Today, I installed 2 more megs of ram and 2 floppy drives. I shorted both sets
of pins on P7 (parallel to minibus) . Upon trying to boot the machine, it
wouldn't.  The screen was blue with OS9 68K Boostrap at the top.  It then very
quickly flashed a message on the screen. I think it said "boot failed, error
status $0100".  What does this mean? A bad boot disk? Unfortunately, I only got
one floppy disk. I'm going to copy the full set from another local MM1 owner.

I brought the machine back to it's original state and it gave the same error.

Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. I hope this isn't a hardware
problem.
