Message-ID: <4688@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu> Date: 5 Apr 88 20:38:17 GMT Sender: luttinen@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu Reply-To: indermau@dg.cs.umn.edu.UUCP (Kurt Indermaur) Distribution: na Organization: University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Computer Science Department. Lines: 12 HELP! I am the unfortunate owner of an original IBM PC (PC-1) without a hard disk. I would like to install a hard card, but have been unable to find any dealer that still has the BIOS upgrade kit that IBM so graciously discontinued... PLEASE, does ANYBODY know of ANY (legal) way, short of buying a new computer, that I can get a BIOS that "knows" about hard disks? I'm getting just a LITTLE desperate.
