	Do you have the software (preferable 2.04 or 2.05)?  The PC 
Transporter won't run in MS-DOS mode without the PC Transporter System Disk.

: monitor into the Colorswitch port that came with the Installation kit, 

	The ColorSwitch plugs into the PCT also.  You plug the 
ColorSwitch into the GS video port and then plug your monitor into the 
pct's video port.  You cannot boot off the PCT because it doesn't have 
any boot roms.  You also have to use a patcher program on the System Disk 
to get your system to recognize any drives hooked up to the pct.

: but got nothing on the screen, and I tried plugging the Apple 3.5" drive 

	Whatever you do, DO NOT install an Apple Unidisk drive into the 
pct.  You could blow the drive controller (or so it says in the pct manual).

: into the drive port that came with the Installation kit, but still nothing.
: What do I need to do here?

	Hope this info helps.
