Thanks. That narrows the problem down considerably. It will still take a while for me to find out what is going on. I was hoping the Sept 16 version would be good to go, but such is life. I'll probably post something like a "wp2test2" image on this thread after I figure things out.Keef wrote:wp2test1.img - yes this works. Used option 6, so I assume Option 2 works
If you try PCMCIA with a CF card adapter, you might try the Puppy 4.1 Beta version. I had my first CF/PCMCIA success today using it. I posted the description in the Bugs - Puppy 4.1 Beta thread. The particular laptop computer I used is pretty stubborn and never has worked with PCMCIA and Wakepup/DOS, so I had to do a brute force floppy boot method. Maybe Wakepup will work for yours. I like the idea of just pushing a CF card into a $10 PCMCIA adapter.Keef wrote:I've just received a cheapo PCMCIA CF card adapter, and I'm going to see if I can get any joy from that (seems highly unlikely, going by what's been said so far...)

Update: After a closer look at the September 16 wakepup2.img file, the probable culprit is that autoexec.bat resides at the far end of the floppy. Floppies are notoriously unreliable in that area. I need to break out my old Norton Utilities disk to verify, but I think some physical cleanup of the files in the image will fix things. I welcome others to play with the image and give feedback. It's a great learning experience.
