Hey guys, I recently lost the parameters of BIOS on an old 286 - I was able to set everything except the hard disk parameters. The BIOS only allows TYPEs of hard drives. It is a Priam V185. Last it booted, I seem to recall it being about 65 Mb (formatted). STASON tells me it's an 85 Mb drive, with CHS of 1166, 7, 17. No way to put that in, only by TYPE.
Does anyone know what TYPE this drive is?
*edit I tried Type 26 and it got to Starting MS-DOS and got stuck there. Presumably that is not the right type...

*Solving edit - an eBay listing that had the CHS parameters written on the drive in permanent marker led me to it being a Type 19.
Now to figure out these Mn-02 Li batteries..,
