I have a fujitsu 2048 and I'm having massive problems with it in the
iopener.
I fdisk'ed it, formatted it, sys'ed it, and it boots just fine on a
compaq that I have here, but when it's in the iopener, I get the microsoft
windows logo screen (you get this even when you just sys a disk at the
command prompt) and then the iopener crashes with a screen full of junk.
This drive boots a compaq I have just fine.
I haven't even begun to install windows, either!
Any thoughts? The windows boot proves that reading off the drive works,
and that it's using the Hd as master, but the crash really throws me. Why
would it do this?

You are supposed to be a consumer, a black hole for goods, advertising and content. They only want to allocate enough upstream bandwidth for 10,000,000 buy buttons. Producing or sharing information is a subversive act and will not be tolerated.
