Hello
I have aquired a Philips P2230 computer in great shape.
Intel 286-12mhz
4 MB RAM
Internal graphics - ATI 64kb RAM (like a plasma screen)
And its came with IBM h3133 hard drive.
Now. The problem was the RTC Dallas ds1287. the computer booted but complain and ask me to go to setup.(F3).
After i replace the Dallas chip for a ds12887, the PC booted fine, i went to BIOS and setup the thing up, but on the hard drive department i had to choose witch type of harddrive.. nome of the nunbers mached the cylinders and headers of the disk. - this BIOS shows the types.and the cylinders heads and sectors associated with it.
I tried to choose One type and the computer booted but say, "no operating system"... I can boot with a floppy, go to fdisk and see theres a 100mb disk, active..
Tried to enter the BIOS now, but F3 doesn't go to the setup.anymore..
In conclusion:
What is the combination to enter the BIOS on this damm machine. Tried almost everithing
Second... Of my disk doesn't apeered on te disk types in BIOS is anything i can do?
IBM h3133 133mb (1023cyl, 15heads, 17sectors)
Thanks you.
