Strand 430... Do you want it?

Hey Guys,

 

I'm currently a first year student on a technical theater course at Stratford Upon-Avon College, UK and we currently are very low on equipment for us to further our knowledge as we only have old and must out dated equipment.

 

We currently have a Strand 430 that is not booting. When we turn it on it will get to a point that says 'no OS installed', I have been looking around various websites and have found a number of different people looking for these desks as they are still very good desks and I totally agree that they are!

 

So to cut a long story short, my lecturer has asked me to look around and see if there is anyone who is willing to take this desk of our hands, for a swap or small payment. It is in 'OK' condition, just needs a bit of a clean, we are willing to give you the 'Riggers Remote' along with it if anyone is interested?

 

I will post some pictures shortly.

 

If you are interested or have any questions or queries; post them hear, message me or drop me an email; ricky.towner@thepump.org.uk.

 

Thanks guys and I look forward to maybe hearing from you.

 

Ricky

I usually come across systems that say "Operating System not found" or something along the lines of "File not found".

 

The first is usually down to a missing or expired hard drive where the motherboard has not been able to find DOS, and the second where either the 220os directory or a file in it is missing.

 

Formatting and loading Dos and the Strand OS into a salvaged hard drive from an old PC will very quickly show if the console is worth salvaging.

 

Out of curiosity, at what stage does the 'no OS installed' message appear. Before or after it says starting MS-DOS?

Click on 'Support' (Top menu)

 

Click on 'Product Downloads' (side menu)

 

Select 'Discontinued Controls'

 

Select '500 series console'

 

Select 'Software' and click 'Search'

 

I *think* the 430 will require the non-I series. Hopefully someone else will be along in a minute to confirm this.

Yes, I agree you probably will need the non I version. However, one thing to bear in mind is that if the console was not issued with a version "C" type password but a version "B", then the latest version of software that will run on the console is 1.55. You need a version "C" pass word to run softwase 2.x.x.

You know, I've always wondered what the C stood for...now I know!
