hog 2 installation

hi all

I've got whole hog 2 with me
when I boot up it go straight into the 1,clean show 2, old show 3, load new software.

i don't know what happen but now it doesn't boot up normal anymore.

so I've download the latest version and unzip it into 2 diskette

so I attempt to load in a new sotware.
but it kept showing
'Loading....
Disk or program not found'

So I though I might have a bad floppy drive so I change another A Drive.
But still get the same result.

Please help~~~

What are the possibilities for the board to act like this?
I'm pretty sure the diskette are fine since they're new

    Hmmm . . . . . 10 years of no use . . . . .

    While it shouldn't present any problem, you might want to check the backup battery. I have seen some gear get a little nutty when the battery was completely dead or "on the edge" . . . .

    Other than that, the only other things that go with age are connectors can oxidize (unplug and reseat them) and electrolytic caps can lose capacitance or short, but since it powers up OK, not sure that is a contender - most 'lytics in a Hog should be on the power supply, and if they hard fail, you usually pop a fuse or get smoke . . . .
