The Sirius 500 of my employer wasn't used for some years. Now I think about learning this light controller and using it for an event this summer, but it seemst not to start normally. When I'm turning the power on, the internal screens show the already described messages (black characters and

). The external display shows
Detecting OD Primary Master ... ST3850A
Floppy Disk(s) Fail (C0)
Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP
After pressing F1 you can read lines like
Verifying DMI pool data

see two graphics by zero88 and finally read just
C:\DESKDEMO>
After a while the internal screen shows

After searching for a launcher inside MS DOS without result I found this forum.
The problem described duckher up seems to be nearly the same, but in addition to this maybe my floppy drive should be changed. For this a short instruction how to open the Sirius without destroying anything would be nice. I would like to try changing the CR2032 battery at the mainboard and the floppy drive this week. This should help, don't?
