It's extremely slow, about 90 minutes to create the image and burn it.
But that's not the main problem. I can't even get to the stage of
wanting to burn a CD because of the slow CPU and lack of memory.

I can boot from my IDE drive with no problems.

It's out of a working A3500T, or one that was working until its hard
drive failed. I can boot if I remove the GuruROM from the A2091 and
replace the C= 6.6 ROMs, but then I can only see the first two
partitions on each drive, whichever CPU I'm using.
