Was just wonder if anyone else has one of the old AT Compatible computers.

There's an old android saying which I believe is peculiarly appropriate here. In binary language it goes something like this: 001100111011000111100, which roughly translated means: "Don't stand around jabbering when you're in mortal danger!"

Hi Alex!

Do you have the original Diagnostic setup disk?

I think I found a copy with a file called PCDIAG2, but it doesn’t seem to run.

I’ve had my 7200 for nearly 10 years and never been able to properly configure the BIOS

Thanks buddy, can I ask how you manage to configure the bios on your machine?

Let me check, but I don't believe that I do. I'll image it if so.

Yeah, and I don’t seem to have the setup disk, sadly. At least not that I have found, so far.

I might have found a good solution!

That jogged my memory, and I remembered that every 286 clone is an exact clone of the IBM AT. So, the same setup/diag disk will work on all of them. You can also use gsetup:
