G'day Craig
CP> Hello out there in computer land. I hope somebody can help me. I'm
CP> looking for a setup disk for an old 286 computer that has come to me
CP> from some friends who are hoping that I can fix it. The problem lies
CP> in the fact that the 3 1/2 " drive is currently configured as drive B
CP> and 760K and the 5 1/4 " drive is configured as drive A and 1.2M . The
CP> 3 1/2 " drive is stuffed so I have a replacement drive that is 1.44M,
CP> but can't install it till I can enter the CMOS configuration to change
CP> drive B setting to 1.44M. Iwould also like to change the drive order
CP> around. The machine is an EPSON PC AX 80286 model Q130A. I would
CP> appreciate anyone out there who has a setup disk for this particular
When you turn the machine of, it should say "Hit for setup"
Do this and it will bring up the CMOS settings....change what you want in
there, but you may have to change a few of the cables around inside the
machine so it will boot to the 1.44 instead of the 1.2. I have done this
before and it isn't too hard.
Good luck.
