Hello again,
maybe too fast to write my previous message :-)
The emulator crashed when it started to format the disk with this message:
pci0.3(sym53c810).disk0.0(file): Unknown SCSI command 0x03.
SCSI Command Failed: ..\Disk.cpp, line 1390
Freeing memory in use by system...
%VGA-I-SHUTDOWN: vga console has shut down.
Maybe there's something still not emulated...
fausto
