I cant see any model number on the screen, other than award 286 bios v 2.6 appear on the monitor.
PHOENIX AWARDBIOS CMOS SETUP UTILITY DISKETTE ERROR 0 UPGRADE
Its basically an IBM AT clone from what i gather, the case looks very similar, and this award BIOS was actually an upgrade option you could purchase from award i believe that gave you more upgrade options on your IBM. Try get some good clear pics to upload if you can of the board. was the battery corroded on the board ? if so the board maybe a non-goer. The f1 keyboard error could also be a fault with the Keyboard controller on the board. also when they boot it should display board model on screen. Look at the board and it should have a make model number on it. is it a 286-8, 10, 12 or 16 mhz some did have basic settings for if the battery went flat and the controller id ISA 16bit will over ride the drive settings on the bios for Hdd.

It only has 640K of RAM, would dos 6.22 be too demanding on this system? nzoomed Posts: 66 Joined: Sun 8:16 am The HDD appears to be communicating, its an old ST225 (20MB) drive, i get disk boot failure, but im not sure what if anything is on the drive still.įinal question, what version od DOS should i run on this? Would the HDD configuration utility on this card also configure the floppy drives etc, or would this go through the system BIOS? It has a MFM HDD controller with a floppy controller on the same card. I was wondering if its possible to use debug or not to enter setup? Ive been reading that some old computers require you to use a special boot disk from the motherboard manufacturer to enter the setup. I can see two rom chips with award bios stickers on them, so i naturally assume its an award BIOS. I keep getting keyboard error press f1, CMOS date and time wrong.į1 just continues to boot, but pressing DEL does not enter setup, nor does insert. It needs the battery replaced and the time is wrong. Ive just sourced an old vintage vintage 286 computer, I have no idea on the motherboard model, i cant find anything.
