Message-ID: <42@blender.UUCP> Date: 15 Nov 89 14:46:17 GMT Lines: 15 Keywords: compaq,boot,error I've inherited at work a compaq 286 portable. It has one annoying problem, instead of beeping once as normal pc's do when they boot, this thing beeps twice. At one point in time, it wouldn't boot of the hard disk, which required a "fine adjustment" to fix. Still works fine, yet why is it beeping twice. Is this an error report of some type? There are no messages as such at the boot process, so I'm a little perplexed. Any answers? BTW: Has anyone ever heard of a company called ANO. They're distributors/ resellers of systems they assemble in Vancouver somewhere I think (or some suburb of it). We got one in the office, and I'd like to know what others have to say. -- Dan Keizer UUCP: ...!uunet!{ubc-cs|watmath}!calgary!xenlink!blender!dan
