cush:
ok ed thanks.
I sent a few pics incase it was the chip info you wanted too, I see the bit you mean in the corner nr the dip switches.

I am confused reading this thread. OP says he is getting boot failure. This to me sounds like a a few possible problems. #1 bad hard drive or CDrom drive. #2 bad CD disc. #3 bad IDE cable. #4 problem with Motherboard BIOS 1st boot setting.

Now, that said, All im reading here is I/O this, I/O that. What does the I/O board have to do with the system trying to boot off of something? Do these old XL machines boot directly off a chip on the I/O board? All the ones ive seen boot either from cd drive or hard drive.

I am trying to put together a test rig from XL parts and I am stuck because the motherboard wants to boot off the hard drive and for some reason detects the dvd drive i have connected, but wont boot the disc inside. It will boot off a hard drive if i connect it though. I dont have a ps2 keyboard to get into the bios to change the boot order.

ed12:
well i agree with u,i have never seen a merit
without a harddrive,but sure enough u12 is the o/s
so we were working
a=on the fact the mobo was indeed ok
b=that the i/o board was ok
c=that the coin inteface was ok >service switch/cal s/w<,but atlas
this part has been tinkerned with,so until i recieve the requested info
 i am at a stand still.
now it is highly posable that yes it needs a game cdrom.
as i rember i have a wack of max-xl disks here,
but i agree with you that with the bios batt replaced,it is highly posiable that
that the bios defaulted to harddrive=0/cdrom=1
and a ps2 keyboard would be in order to switch this around,
now unless i missed the @'s statment he says that all he got with it was a :sound: disk,which i find very odd

cush:
ed did you mean me when you mention a "sound" disk ? if so then we got crossed lines somewhere lol I got a cd with it and printed on the disk is :
