Hi,
When I try booting it fails, the bios info is empty and the keyboard will start beeping on any keypress after about a dozen, no input possible. Suggestions? I don’t see a battery on the mobo and with a 9 month production time documentation has been impossible to find so far. The system has been upgraded with 16 MB of memory and it looks like Windows 3.1 is now on the hard drive. Acer 80286 BIOS V1.1R1 Just something I bought to play with thinking it still was running MS Dos 4.01 if I could get it to work. Errors are CMOS Battery Bad, CMOS Checksum Error, 80X87 Coprocessor Mismatch, Display Card Mismatch, Equipment Configuration Error, Memory Size Mismatch, Real Time Clock error, then a space and RAM BIOS Disable, Video ROM BIOS. When I enter setup I get Warning: The following POST errors have been automatically configured:
CMOS Battery Lost or Checksum Error, Memory Size Mismatch, Equipment Configuration Error for Primary Display, Equipment Configuration Error for Coprocessor.
Reboot leaves me with CMOS Battery Bad, Equip. config error, real time clock, RAM BIOS Disable and Video ROM BIOS.
I’ve tried a couple of monitors, a couple of keyboards, different memory configs, though I have no idea on that, 4 slots, 4 matching simms. Only 5120 detected on boot, no extended shows. Looks like 4 x 4 MB sticks, with and without mouse connected.
Been a long time since I played with anything this old, and suggestions welcome.
