Thanks for the feedback. I have done semi-manual mod without RWE report: in BIOSCOD02.ROM I replaced (with HEX editor) SLIC to SLAC (twice), corrected FTNGROVE to LH43STAR and inserted Slic 2.1 module ONLY.
Update: Okay, I can get it to turn the CHARGING light and the POWER light on. I am assuming this means it has entered recovery mode, but it does NOT read or do ANYTHING with the floppy disc. Also, it's not turning any fan on or anything of that sort. It's just lights, nothing is physically turning on. I am going with this assumption that it wants a floppy disc drive rather then a USB Stick.
