First post, by elix
I had this rig for several years, but did not bother with it until now.
Its a small AMD 286 12mhz.
around 2mb ram setup nags for the correct amount.
WDC Paradise somthing ISA VGA graphics. Attached to the ISA controller board that houses the CPU and ram.
Quantum Prodrive 40mb
Scribe somthing 40MB via expansion bay in the front.
and 1.44mb floppy
Thing is i cant seem to get the computer to detect my HDDs after the cmos battery have failed.
I know the drives works i have tested them in a other system. And it got stuff from 1995 on it. Passes scandisk etc.
But when installed in the v286 it just wants to boot to floppy, and it works ive run ms dos via a disk and played som street rod 😁
The bios has 2 settings for HDD, Automatic and manual. Ive tryed both.
Ive found the settings for the hdd so ive changed it to a manual "type 34" but it does not work, it just wants to boot to floppy.
The Bios settings are few, and no boot order setting.
While in DOS, trying to use fdisk it says i have no fixed disks.
There is not mutch on google on this computer.
So i turn to you guys!
