Hi Folks,
  I got an old IBM PC/XT last week. I get the following error messages
while starting up (from floppy and hard disk): 301 and 1701. The screen
looks like this

   --------------------------------
   |  301
   | 512 KB OK
   | 1701
   | ERROR (RESUME = "F1" key)
   |

pressing F1 after that does not do anything.

Does anyone of you guys have an idea what these error messages mean.

Please answer to my email address if possible (rschaad@ics.uci.edu)
