The disk it is asking for is the operating system upgrade disk.

You can download it from here.

Extract the zip file to a freshly formatted floppy disk, and insert it into the desks floppy drive and switch the desk on.

Hi again, I did as you advised and the instruction on the screen tells me to "remove floppy disk or other media and press any key". I did this, then it asks for the boot disk again. Any ideas?

The message the Illusion BIOS displays should be "operating system not found. please insert an upgrade disk, and switch the desk off, and back on".

 

If the message your desk is displaying anything other than this, then it seems that your desk has the wrong BIOS EPROM fitted! There were a couple of very early prototype desks we made, which should never have left the building, where this might be the case. If you have one of these, then the only answer really is to send it back to Keith to have all the chips upgraded.

 

What's the serial number of your desk by the way? What are it's origins???

Dave,

I had the same problem when I tried to install the latest version (7 ) of the Illusion OS, the solution I found was to continually reboot the desk with the OS floppy in the drive until the desk recognised it was there and installed it.
