In an earlier posting I mentioned that when I try to start
my IBM PS/2 80, I get two beeps and then "162" appears
on the screen.  A number of people commented (thank you!!)
that one possibility was that the configuration file
(or whatever it is called) had somehow become messed
up and perhaps the computer thought the A drive was something
other than a 1.44mb drive.  The suggestion was to use
the reference diskette to make sure the computer knew
that the A drive was a 3.5" 1.44mb drive.  Well, I
used the reference diskette to view the system configuration
and the computer DOES believe the A drive is 3.5" 1.44mb.
However, just to be complete, I did run an automatic
configuration.  However, when I try to restart the computer
I get the same error as before.

So, assuming I have followed the advice correctly that
people gave me, what's next?

Thanks for the help.
