The first one is IDEHDD Autodetect.
I tried that but it tells me the size is 10243. That's not right.
It's 20Gig, Should I tell it ?

Take a look at that tip sheet i sent you. Should be able to set Type and Mode to "Auto". Don't freelance on me now... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
DO NOT use the HDD detect! Go on to the rest. If you've already done it, fine. But do JUST what's on the list.

Thinking about it, I may have mentioned in an earlier post/tip sheet about that HDD detect. If so, I was wrong---don't need it really. Don't worry about what it says for now---your hard drive will be controlled by a different "system" (ATA) so to speak.
Just a couple things.
When I set the CPU speed (it was 433Mhz) It won't let me do anything else. Just jumps down to Spread Spectrum Modulated. Everything else I found. Except Parallel Port Mode : ECP
CPU temp is 82 degrees F https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

That's fine. Is it set for the right speed of your processor now? (866)? Remember to use "Save settings and Exit"? Otherwise the changes won't take. That printer/ECP setting is in there--sometimes hard to find. Don't worry about it for now. Save the settings and you're ready for the next step. FDISK and Format. Put the startup floppy in and reboot. have the fdisk/format sheet ready. Rememember that the fdisk/format program will give you dire warnings that it will wipe out all data---GOOD---you don't have any data to begin with https://discussions.virtualdr.com/. Make sure you say NO to CD-Rom support (for now) and YES to large disk support. Make your Primary partition--reboot and do the Format.

Glad you're here Mosaic to see this. (I stopped cold turkey 7 yrs. ago. Never looked back) https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Bistro, Keep it up focus and you will beat it. Besides, you could build a computer a year with the savings and have change left.

I just took it out. It has jumpers on it too. 5 rows of 3 pins.
First three vertical has a vertical pin starts at the bottom.
Then a horizontal one at the top on the second and third set
and on the last vertical row is another one vertical on the top pin.
I believe it's your floppy drive that's the culprit. Double-check---is the red stripe away from or toward the power connection? Whichever it is, reverse it. Make sure the connection to the mobo is correct.
Make sure it has power (little plug).

The very first Delta Computer. Impressive. Like a baby being born. Whatcha naming the newborn QoH? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Sounds like it's really strong and healthy. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Train, think we ought to frame where we started. Went back on your link and re read it. Almost brings tears. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
