Thanks, Richard. The non-booting host is a 32-bit system at least a dozen
years old. I don't need it as the new host is a 64-bit Ryzen7 box with 32G
RAM and a 250G SSD for the system and a 2T drive for applications and data.
When I get all desktops, routers, and WAPs re-arranged and working I'll also
find a new home for the Dell Latitude 2100, a nice 32-bit laptop.
Regards,
Rich
