Great! You having an et4000/isa is an extra complication. Getting the ISA
version to work is probably not very difficult, but I currently don't have
the time to do it... What I can offer you is a serial console using the
modem1 port of the Hades. Is this workable for you? You can probably put
a terminal emulator on a floppy and use that on your diskless MegaST. The
code for the serial console is ready (still hot ;-) ). The last part of
060 code intergration shouldn't be too much work, so this would produce
something (hopefully) working in a few days.
