It's an ACMA, x386/33, with AMI BIOS 4/90 and new Keyboard driver... with 150 meg ESDI hard disk. It doesn't recognize the hard disk and have a were diagnostic error message. I'll post it later. Here is some info: ********************** * System Summary * ********************** --------------------- Computer --------------------- Computer Name: IBM AT or compatible Built-in BIOS: AMI, Monday, April 9, 1990 Main Processor: Intel 80386, 33 MHz Math Co-Processor: None Video Adapter: Video Graphics Array (VGA) Mouse Type: Bus mouse, Version 1.07 --------------------- Disks --------------------- Hard disks: 154M Floppy disks: 1.44M, 1.44M --------------------- Memory --------------------- DOS Memory: 640K Extended Memory: 3,456K Expanded Memory: 1,536K --------------------- Other Info --------------------- Bus Type: ISA (PC/AT) Serial Ports: 2 Parallel Ports: 1 Keyboard Type: 101-key Operating System: DOS 4.00 ******************* * CMOS Values * ******************* --------------------- Hard Disks --------------------- Primary: type 1 Secondary: None --------------------- Floppy Disks --------------------- Primary: 1.44M, 3 1/2" Secondary: 1.44M, 3 1/2" --------------------- Installed Memory --------------------- Base: 640 KBytes Extended: 3,456 KBytes --------------------- CMOS Status --------------------- CMOS Battery: Operational CMOS Time: Valid Fixed Disk Controller: OK Configured Memory: Correct Configured Equipment: Correct Checksum: Correct ******************** * Disk Summary * ******************** Drive Type Size Default Directory ------------------------------------------------------------- A: 1.44M, 3 1/2" 1.44M B: 1.44M, 3 1/2" 1.44M C: Hard Disk 1 33M \WINDOWS D: Hard Disk 1 51M \NORT E: Hard Disk 1 51M F: Hard Disk 1 18M G: Available H: Available I: Available J: Available K: Available L: Available M: Available N: Available O: Available P: Available Q: Available R: Available S: Available T: Available U: Available V: Available W: Available X: Available Y: Available Z: Available ************************ * Partition Tables * ************************ Starting Ending Relative Number of System Boot Side Track Sector Side Track Sector Sectors Sectors DOS-16 Yes 1 0 1 6 147 63 63 65,205 BIGDOS No 1 148 1 6 380 63 63 102,690 BIGDOS No 1 381 1 6 613 63 63 102,690 DOS-16 No 1 614 1 6 696 63 63 36,540 That's all I know.. I hate to waste the $125 I spent for buying IBM OS/2 1.3 SE. It certainly will give me a sour taste if nobody can help me.. especially to IBM. I don't want to wait for 2.0 and be disappointed.
