Hi All,

I got 286 C1129PC computer.
It runs. The FDD is not reading anything. I replaced it with another one. Managed to boot from 5.25" disk.
The HDD is a MFM one. Cant see the model right now. PC does not boot from it.

The PC says "option 102 is not set , please run setup".
So my question is how can I enter the setup program ?
I believe I have to specify the disk type.

I am attaching a picture of the same mainboard (the only one I found in the net).

Thank you in advance.

Did you try all usual key combinations? Del, F2, CTRL-Esc, CTRL-ALT-Esc, etc? On some older BIOSes you need external program, run from floppy, to set it up. Looking at this mobo it might just be old enough for that.
