The bulk of the responses seemed to indicate that burning a CD
from the downloadable tarball was not viable. Several people offered
suggestions about upgrading to either 4.0G or 5.x or 4.0F PK5 to get
the KZPCC-CE to work. It was suggested that the release notes for NHD3
say they cannot be booted from an IDE CD ROM drive, and that the DS20E
has an IDE CD-ROM. Several people suggested buying the real NHD3 kit.
We were successful in getting the NHD3 kit and the KZPCC-CE
installed on the DS20E by using an old scsi disk, and building the NHD3
kit onto that, as opposed to a CD-ROM. After that, it was smooth
sailing.
Thanks as always!!
