I have the old HeadStart II GUI if anyone wants a copy.
Heaven knows why you would, but I have it...

I have an IMSAI 8080 with 'all the trimmings'... problem is,
it has been so long since I've used it, I've forgotten some
vital numbers... It has 2 8" MITS floppy drives, and a MITS
drive controller. Does anyone happen to know the base
address (in hex, octal, or bin) of the MITS IO so that
I can get the bloody thing to boot? I also have a Cromemco
Bytesaver program memory card... this may have been used
as a workaround for basic-in-a-rom, which my machine does
not have. Any ideas on pulling anything off of this?

Thanks for any help with the old dinosaur I learned to
program on!

Here is some stuff I need. E-Mail me if you can help.

Color Computer 3 512K upgrade + some disk or cart games.

Macintosh 512K keyboard & the Boot Disk.

ADAM disk drive & any games (tape or disk).

I have acquired an IBM XT Model 5160 and can't get into
the bios or cmos. I need the system disk. I will boot ok but
it boots directly to a program that looks like gwbasic.
What I'm trying to do is format the hard drive. I put DOS
6.22 in A: and it tells me that there's an error reading
the fixed disk. I can't get to a C:....can anyone help?
I've tried CTRL+ALT+DEL and CTRL+ALT+INS but to no avail.
I can be reached at the e-mail address above or on icq.
My icq # is 5880167, thanks in advance

I have a Macintosh Classic that needs a new power supply.
I'm looking for the schematic to the machine. Does anyone know where
I can find it on the net or have it?

I am in need of a switching power supply to replace a DVE Mdoel DSP-0584-100. This unit is 6" long, 3' tall, 4" wide, all measured from the rear faan area. It Came out of a Packard Bell 486SX. I am trying to rrebuild.

I am looking for a manual for the Dell model 320N+ notebook.

Thank you.

Hi All,

My uncle has a Zenith 386sx computer. The battery recently died, so he tried to install a new battery...
The problem is the following :

The CMOS has been deleted, but some kind of password stays active...
Is there some kind of standard password to get into the setup menu or
is there some kind of jumper to reset the password... (the CMOS has already been resetted)...

I think this is a really odd problem....


Thanks ahead,

Hi,

I recently bought a Nokia Alfaskop M072 monitor. It has a female DB15 connector instead of a high-density male DB15 connector.
Does anybody know some kind of specifications of this monitor, or does anybody know on which computer system these monitors can be used...

Thanks ahead,

I am working on a Tandy 3000 NL that is in need of a replacement 3 1/2" floppy drive. I recently purchased an "off-the-shelf" Teac but am still having the following problem: when I use a y-adapter to get the proper power to the Teac and than install the Tandy 3000 ribbon cable the power supply for the entire machine shorts out. Obviously, the power on the original drive was coming through the ribbon cable, but that will not work with the Teac. Does anyone have schematics of the Tandy 3000 ribbon cables so that I can determine which wire to cut to eliminate the power normally comming through it and use the y-adapter from the power supply?
Does anyone know the jumper configuration on the Tandy 3000 NL that will allow me to bypass the built in drive controller and put a ISA controller into the slots? If this is available the first question becomes moot as I can now replace the floppy as well as the upgrading the MFM hard drive. Any and help would be very deeply appreciated.

I have some IBM PS/2 microchannel (MCA) token ring network adapters that I've pulled from a group of machines I bought from a loal government agency, and I'm reselling these machines as individuals, hence I have excess cards. Here's a breakdown of them:
2 each FRU 74F9415 short cards
2 each FRU 93F0331 long cards
1 each FRU 53F7748 long card

If you have a couple IBM PS/2 model 50-90 machines you wish to network or add to an existing token ring network these would work great for you. I'm asking $5 each (plus $2.50 s/h)or all 5 for $22 (plus $5.00 s/h)
I would also trade for 1, 2 or 4mb 30 or 72 pin PARITY SIMMs.

RE: Smashing a C64

I had several C64's and found a local school was very great full for them and since you are in the US, you might get some tax credit as a donation to a charity.

Make up a "estimated value" receipt and have them sign it. If you have more "junk" try the Volunteers of America and they might be able to get rid of the stuff.

Just remember, that the monitor off the C64 was a super monitor and would work really well if you connected it to a VCR Video/Audio outputs.

Hope this give you some ideas.

Just don't drop it off a bridge. You never know who or what might be underneath. :)

I have a 120 mg hard drive that I was able to load software which
can be accessed when you boot from a boot diskette. When the hard drive
is connected to any controller card, it reports a HDD controller failure
and yet if I swop the drive, the controller works fine. If I connect
the drive to a different controller, I get the same error.

I've FDISK'ed, formatted and sys'ed the drive. Run Scan disk and done a
surface check and it reports clean.

I would like to try and put this drive into a friends PC and can not
figure out what step might be next.

The drive is a Seagate ST3144A and there are five jumpers on the bottom.
If using the one nearest the connector at the edge of the circuit board
as number one, the are strapped on #'s 3 and 5.

I have an old KAYPRO II with just as old CP/M 2.2 diskettes.
The KAYPRO II is unable to boot from the diskettes, the only copies I
have, displaying the error "UNABLE TO READ DISK". I was hoping to find
a resource to get new CP/M 2.2 diskettes or a resource that will check
my old KAYPRO II to make sure that it hasn't died from sitting in my closet.
I really miss programming in INTEL 8080 assembler language.
Thanks, One and all.

I have an Epson Equity II+. The cmos is stored on something called a

out. Thank you!!

I have an old DECpc 333 and i need a CMOS Setup Programm

Hi,
anyone have any info. on a Compuadd 486 Desktop Type LP
Model A002 ?
Would like to upgrade the Motherboard if possible from current
8Mb Ram (8x1Mb 30pin Simms) to 16Mb using 4Mb Simms.
So any details of jumpers or dip switch settings would be useful.
Have tried 4Mb simms in slots but it doesn't recognise them.
Thanks.

I have an Epson QX-10. I have been wondering if I can convert it to run under DOS. The Museum review of the QX-10 says that I can. I'm wondering how, since CP/M includes the BIOS in the op sys rather than in a motherboard ROM chip. Related questions: Can I increase the RAM from 256K? Does the monitor conform to a DOS-recognized standard (EGA, etc.)? Can I add a hard drive other than the Comrex ComFiler? Etc.

Anyone know the specific how-to on all this? Have it in a file? Know of tech dox sources for the QX-10 (component specs, conversion info, etc.)?

Anyone need a cross reference listing for computer CMOS batteries? Here's one you can either bookmark for reference or print to have on hand at any given time:

Hope this is of use to many of you.

I have a Sampo VGA-P video card with a Cirrus Logic chip the card has 8 DIPs and can be used for VGA and some other types of video.

I would like to locate the settings for this card to set it for VGA on and old monitor. It appears to have a VGA Bios 1987-89 chip Plus four jumpers on the card its self.

If anyone can help me with the DIP settings and the jumper strapping, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

I'm working on an Epson Equity II+. The battery went dead and I lost the CMOS. How do I find out what type hard drive it has?

Where can I find a file (DMVS1000.RES) for the Tandy 1000rl?
I have a computer here that has that file missing.
It has ms-dos 3.3 and deskmate in rom, and it won't read the
floppy drive (3.5), it also won't let me run rlsetup.
Could you help. If I could get a copy of this file, it might help,
although, if it won't read the floppy, I might have another problem.
Thanks

I have an "IBM Portable Personal Computer" (the suitcase-looking one)
that I have upgraded to a 386 DX40. I had to replace the original video
card because the old 8-bit one did not physically fit in a 16-bit ISA
slot. The only wires I see coming from the built-in monochrome monitor
are two narrow-gauge wires: a black one and a yellow one. Which two
pins of the DB-9 monitor output connector do I need to use?

I have an IBM XT that maxes at 640k but I do have two memory cards that work independantly and should equal 1024k or 1mg. This is my spare emergency computer, I need information on how to get it to 1mg. I understand it involves the settings on the motherboard and a driver that's an expanded or upper memory driver. It's running DOS 5.0 and the HIMEM.SYS driver will not work on anything less than the 8086. I do have two other computers but this is my first and I still use it when I need to. I'm really interested in getting it to 1mg total. Please help. Thanks!

Anyone out there have a Western Digital controller card and not have the faintest idea of how to set it, or even what type of controller it is? Log onto Western Digital's site at the obsolete controller index by going to the following net address:

http://www.wdc.com/acrobat/obcont.html

All the original brochure style instructions for most older controller series is contained on this page, in Adobe Acrobat format.

Looking for 1, 2 and 4 mb SIMMs in both 30 and 72 pin styles, but must be parity types. They are going into PS/2's (286 and 386SX types) so I can use 80, 70 and 60ns speeds. I have many items I can trade for these or will pay reasonable amounts. The PS/2's will be donated to a local homeschool which is paying for the SIMMs (unless I trade my excess for them) so keep that in mind when writing with pricing. Most resellers get $3 for 1mb, $5 for 2 mb and $9 for 4mb/30pin, $12 for 4mb/72 pin. Of course these are 60ns prices, 80ns pricing is somewhat lower. If you have upgraded your SIMMs and want to get them out of your "stash" drawer, write me.

I just bought a Zenith supersport 286 model ZWL-184 and a Bondwell
B310A and I'm looking for any information about these I can get.
Owners manuals, Tech. info or where I might find them. Thanks
for any help you can give me.

Oh my, where to start. I have an old tandy 1000, but I don't
have the two disks that originally came with it (a few programs)
to actually make it usable, if anyone has these, please write me,
I was wondering if maybe you could send me a copy or something.
I've also got a Radio Shack TRS-80 that doesn't have any boot
disk (at least I think that's what I need), when you turn it on
the screen scrolls horizontally like a TV that needs a Horizontal
adjustment. It checks one of the two 5 1/4" drives, but gives
up after it fugures out I don't have anything to feed it.
I've also got an IBM PC jr, that doesn't have a power cable
or a keyboard, at my preliminary examination of the device,
I determined that it uses proprietary versions of each device,
so I would be most grateful if, someone who had these,
could write me and I could buy it from you. Well, that's about it,
thank you very much for keeping such a great resource up like this,
the Internet needs more good content like this. Keep it up!

Im looking for a copy of windows 3.0.If anyone here has a copy that they can sell me at a reasonable price please contact me.Thanks a million

Hello,
I maybe typing this into the wrong area, but I am
looking for information on programs for the Tandy 1000 line
(mostly those that were in the now-defunct magazine 80Micro).
Does anyone know where I can find these (I am mainly
wanting the program Bruce's Basic Compiler, Nov 87, page 44;
but there are many other good ones)?
I have issues 85 to 101(the last); but due to the
amount of wear and tear, they are mostly unuseable in the
program listings (the text smears too easily). I entered
several of the programs into the computer (saved on disk),
but due to age and cold most are lost (included the BBC
program).

For Peter Kantorowski:
To access the Phoenix setup try Ctrl+Alt+S or Ctrl+Alt+Esc.

I have a Zenith SuperSport 386sx and am looking for a TECH
manual or internal modem or expansion chassis. if you have
any of these please let me know. I am also looking for a
list of HD drives that are compatible with it. Thanks.

Hi, I have been scouring the web for any information I might find on a
Zenith Data Systems ZWX-0248-62 286 computer. I have a couple of them I
bought at an auction & am trying to load an OS on one of them. The HDD
is a Seagate ST225 MFM 20mb drive.The battery is OK, the BIOS setup is:
Z200 Hardware Setup/Configuration Program. It let me change the 5.25 FDD
for a 3.5 FDD. I'm not sure about the jumpers on the drive controller
board & all I can see on that board which may be a brand is '5280-CRZ'.
In setup, when I get to the part where I enter the drive type, it
doesn't let me enter the type myself (it says at the bottom of the
screen to 'use space/backspace to enter....arrows to move...') but
rather ever-so-slowly moves through all the drive numbers and I get a
'beep' whenever I try to enter the drive type myself by moving the space
bar or backspace bar. If I catch it when it lands on the drive number I
want, I can use the arrows to move away from that area but it doesn't
want to save the drive type. It has saved all the other setup data I
have entered so far & I would like to get this thing figured out before
my nephew comes home after Christmas vacation as I would like to give it
to him as a gift & if I can load DOS 6.2 & maybe Dos shell & some games
I think he would be happy with it. I would gladly pay a reasonable
amount for your advice or helpful suggestions (if you give me your snail
mail address) or I could maybe send you parts that you may be in need
of.
Thank you in advance.....Bernadette angels@pldi.net or

The previous poster about the 1000SX needs a few things to be helped, such as an email address, not a nickname. He/she needs to post what type PRINTER they have and for what operating system or program they need a driver for, not the computer type necessarily.

Ok "Speakful"...you're turn next - rewrite the inquiry with the needed info if you desire help.

I am trying to find a printer driver for a Tandy 1000 SX. I am trying to
connect my old dot matrix printer to a new laptop.

If you have information, please let me know.

I have just had a Packard Bell Legend 300SX dumped in my lap. I have no idea how old it is or how much space is on it. Is such a thing upgradeable?
How much would it cost to upgrade to current internet standards? I would really like to make it funtional. Please respond with whatever info anyone
might have on such a machine. Thank you very much.

Does anyone have information about making electronic
repairs on old nonfunctional hard drives of any type (MFM,
RLL, ESDI, SCSI, or IDE)? Or even purely software fixes
to IDEs that have been accidentally formatted?

I have some MFM/RLL and IDEs that spin and move their heads
but that's about it, and I'd like to revive them if it's
practical.

If anyone has an IBM 5100 or Sinclair QL that they wouldn't mind trading
or selling off cheap please email me. Thanks, Loren.

I am trying to get a Tandy 1000 working. I have plenty of disk, however the problem is that when I turn it on the computer goes into a memory test and never comes out of it. The computer does not go to any promps c or otherwise. would love some info on it.

I'm looking for a place in the NY area that might possibly buy old model PCs. I have an old Commodore 64 w/color monitor and 1540 disk drive. I also have a line printer, I 'm not sure of the model, however, all of which I'm looking to sell but no where to go.

A friend was given a 286 (I forget the brand and model
number) that gets an error message when it boots up for
Fixed Disk 1. I ran the setup program (the program is
built in a setup disk isn't necessary) to try to configure
the drive correctly. There are about 50 prefined Hard disk
types, I didn't see an option for user defined. I tried
all fifty types and still get the error message. Is there
anything else I can try. I would be interested in any
advice. Thank You.

I have an Epson Equity II (286). I put in a CGA card and
ran setup for the change. Everything worked great for a
while. Now when you turn the computer on the monitor is
completely blank. I know the computer is working because
I've redirected DOS commands to the printer. I didn't have
another CGA monitor to try so I put in an EGA/VGA card and
monitor that was working in another computer and its still
completely blank. Is this a setup problem? If it is how
can I run setup? If its not what might it be? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

WHERE CAN I GET MONITOR DRIVERS FOR A COMMODOER1950-B

I just laid hands on the bottom of a PS/1 2011-C24 and I'm rather puzzled at how this unit is powered. There is no place to plug a power cord into it! There is a 'power card' inside, so my guess is that the power comes though the monitor connection. Am I right? Does anyone have the pinouts that can show me where to apply power from a home-made supply or even a few dry cells. Thanks in advance!

owner of a IBM PC jr. I believe the A: has gone out. I put in the DOS disk and turn on Computer. When it reads the DOS disk isn't there suppose to an A prompt? A>?

Have a few IBM token ring adapters for PS/2's that use MCA, a few short and a few long type cards. Will either sell/trade one, a few, or all. These are the type with the 9 pin female sub-d connector and the green dot with the 16/4 on it. Very reasonable, in my way. Contact me for more info.

I need a battery for my Zenith Supersport laptop. It is the 8088 XT model. E-mail if you have one.

I'm looking for any mac 128k's,mac512k's, or any other vintage macs that you would like to sell very cheaply since i don't have much money,I'm not a collector although i like old macs.I need these for a reasearch poject on the "evolution of a company" and i need these computers.If you have any of these or any other working-non working macs that you might want to sell DIRT CHEAP please E-mail me. Thankyou.

Anyone that's looking for either an IBM 5150 PC, 5160 XT, or 3271 (XT configured for network use) should contact me. I have 3 5160's, 2 3271's and an original 5150 PC. Will let these go for a reasonable amount or trade for other hardware that I can use (especially 30 & 62 pin SIMMs) besides prepaid shipping. Two of the units have the original keyboards as well.
All are in working order, contact me for further info.

My friend recently aquired a Compaq LTE/286 laptop. It
did not have an AC adapter. Would anyone either have one to sell., or know where I could obtain one?

What key/s do you normally have to press to access the cmos setup in 486's

Can anyone help please?
I've got an old Amstrad WP, a PC1640, with 9-pin and monitor

(a) The monitor is colour, model PC-ECD, with a
9-pin sub-D connector - is this an EGA or VGA monitor, and
could I use it with an Amiga? It's also got a second lead
with a 10-pin plug on it - funny-looking thing, larger than
a standard round DIN plug - guess it's the power-out lead
(back of the monitor, which has the mains-in, has a label
with 5V / 5.7A, 12V / 2.1A, -5V / 0.1A, -12V / 0.25A)

(b) The printer is model DMP2000 - do you know of
any web sites I could try for a driver to use on a Windows
95 PC setup please?

Many thanks - Mike Holden

I have a IBM 364 mb harddrive-ata for some reason CMOS won't hold the disk configuration info.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I made a mistake some time ago, I got a "new" hard-drive for my PS/2
computer, I thought it was a ESDI hard-drive, instead it turned out to be an
old RFor RLL H/D.
I burnt out the controller card for it. System starts fine
but I get a Hard-Disk Attachment error. (I had a spare controller but It blew
too)
IBM wants like $1799.99 for this part. I would be hard pressed to find $50 for it
Anyone out there have a source that might have it for less than the IBM price?

Also. i just got a Compaq Presario CDS526 for free, it wont boot off the H/D
and it wont recognise the CD-Rom either. I think it may be the IDE Controller
card, If It could at least be disabled, I could throw my Scsi card, in it and
run off it!

Any help would be muchly appreciatted

Thanks in advance (send E-Mail High Priority!)

Hewlett Packard LaserJet Fax
I bought this animal and it works great for sending a fax.
It is pecuilar in that it does not print fax's using a roll of thermal paper or any paper for that matter.
It appears as though the fax machine is to be cabled to a printer and that it uses a printer to print it's faxes.
It has Printer Parallel, PC Serial and PC Parallel connectors in the back of the unit.
I bought this machine for cheap $5.00 at a thrift store and am real pleased with it, however it has no documentation. If any one out there is familiar with this little beastie then please drop me a line.
Thanks.
P.S. I have already tried cabling my Canon BJ-200 Printer to the printer port on the fax machine, all's it prints is garbage, so it must need a driver, or the hardware is not correct.

Someone gave me an old AT machine with a pheonix rom bios V2.27 It asks for a boot disk on startup. can I access the setup or do I need a disk to boot. If so, where can I get a proprietary setup program?

Took apart 4 AT&T 6386E WGS computers for the memory, but
no directions for the DIP switches for the memory boards
Original owner (school) could not find the information.

Hey, does anyone out there have any Commodore 64C's, Commodore 128D's, or any CP/M systems, like the Franklin ACE 1200, or anything like that?
I'm very interested. If you do, please email me.

I have a PCjr color display that I have plans on converting to a standard 9 pin CGA/EGA connector but since I know these are getting hard to find I wanted to find anyone that has a PCjr and may be looking for a good monitor. It's worth $40 to me as a CGA monitor so anyone that may wnat it before it gets modified should contact me by email by the morning of Saturday December 20, 1997 or it becomes a CGA monitor for a unit I'm rebuilding for a friend. If someone does contact me about it with a firm yes then my friend will have to look for a standard CGA/EGA monitor in the local area but then another PCjr will have color instead of mono.
Of course shipping is separate, via UPS.

I almost forgot: after you successfully bypass the password, replace the SIMM you took out and re-enter CMOS setup to record the correct amount of RAM!

For Lee Hernandez and anyone else who needs to bypass a CMOS password:
If possible, remove a memory SIMM. On an older BIOS this will usually cause a "Setup error" that will then take you into the CMOS setup. There you can deactivate the password or change it to something you know.

I have a CompuAdd 386 computer that is locked with a password. How I can remove the password form the bios
(desabled)this. This computer was builded by Compudyne
under type V2LP, Model A003. Please any sugestions wil be

I love old hardware.. i live in the rochester NY area.. I'm wondering where I can get lots of crap? I used to pick up boxes of atari/amiga drives, TRS-80s, keyboards, joysticks, cords, all that stuff at thrift shops for like 10 dollars/box

Ok...

There I was in a thrift shop and then I saw them...

An Apple IIc plus, monitor and imagewriter II...

I don't know anything about Apples but I had to have it ...

I took it home and pluged it in the power indicator light came on and I heard a stirring inside and that was that...

Do I need a boot disk?

Can I run it without a mouse?

Help!!

Thanks.

Bryan.

For Crazy J:
1) Parity error 2 indicates a memory problem on the memory expansion board. Error code 201 indicates a memory error at the indicated hex address. 40D8 is 16600 and 4040 is 16448. If your computer is indicating 62498 bytes free, you must have the 64k motherboard. This seems to mean you have a memory problem on the motherboard (at 16600 and 16448) AND a problem on the Six Pack (parity error 2).
2) You MUST use the /S switch with FORMAT or use SYS.COM to make a bootable floppy. This makes sure the hidden files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS are copied to the correct location on the disk, as well as COMMAND.COM. You are right that it will also try to put DRVSPACE.BIN on the disk and may run out of room. DRVSPACE.BIN can be deleted and COMMAND.COM copied separately, but you MUST use FORMAT /S or SYS.COM to get the hidden files copied properly.

I still need help with my IBM 5150.

I still get the "parity check 2" with the AST Six Pak Plus
installed in the system. When I remove it the pc boots to
ROM basic and reports 62940 bytes of memory. With the card
installed the first thing shown is "4040 201" and then the
error. Without the Six Pak it shows "40D8 201" and then
boots to ROM Basic. I tried creating the disks as advised
earlier and the ddrive just spins and spins and spins. No
time out error or anything. Thinking the drive is old and
bad I swapped the cable and made the B: into the A: but
still get the same thing, spin spin spin with no error
or message. Also a tip to others that may need to make a
system disk for this type of machine: Don't bother with the
/s switch when creating 160k disks as the system won't
fit by default. You will need to delete the drvspace.bin
(v6.x) file and then copy the command.com as there isn't
enough space for all the files. The pc will boot without
the drvspace.bin file (tested it in another pc). I have a
post card but don't know if this 5150 reports bad controllers
and the like. Anybody have any thoughts? Tips? Clues?

consist of company names, their current orders, amounts due,
our inventory, etc. it's all just text and numbers. I am not trying
to copy the programs, just the datafiles.
Of course the manuals for this old boat anchor can not
be found anywhere. It has a dot-matrix printer hooked up
and a bunch of terminals (about 5 or so).
I don't know anything about this box, what is the CPU,
what's the OS, how do I get a file listing
(dir command in DOS), what's the copy command, can I print
the info to the printer port and plug that wire into a PC
instead of the printer and my PC will "record" all the stuff
coming in?
Any info on this subject would be highly appreciated.
Re-typing 12000 names and addresses plus a large inventory
is really not what I want to do. There has to be a way to
do an ASCII dump somehow.

Thanks,

Raf (adde@adde.com)

I have a Compuadd 425tx 486sx computer. It has an internal modem only 2500 bps. Will an external modem work on this computer? I have a PCMCIA card but can't get it to work( any suggestions, the computer configures the modem card as a memory card). On my desk top computer the MSD says I have have com1,2,3. On my Compuadd MSD says I have com1,2 then it has com3 n/a com4 n/a why doesn't it show com 3 active? Thanks for any help anyone can give me regarding this machine. Larry

I have a LASER PAL 386SX. I don't know the switch settings for memory. I have four 4MG 30-pin memory simms. The computer has four memory slots(banks) and eight dip switches. Please, any one with that info respond.

I wonder how can i get in my phoenix bios. I have Texas Instruments 486SX-16 Traveller computer!

Laser Pal 386 SX -- can this motherboard be replaced for upgrading??

Picked up a Zenith ZWL-184-97 laptop and a ZWL-0200-02 laptop with no manuals or power jacks.
Main concern: Zenith ZWL-0200-02 has DC 12V written on the bottom plate, but I need to know the polarity:

------(+) + = inside post and ( - ) = outside shell

Also, is the ZWL-184-97the same polarity?

I have a Zenith supersPORT 286e (model # ZWL-0200). I can't figure out how to get to the BIOS. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Help!! I have accidently errased the config.sys file from my freinds olivetti PCS 286 and he has not got a boot disc.
How can I get a boot disc or restore the computer.

Still looking for a single 286 processor board for a Zenith Data Systems Z248 desktop machine. have all the rest of it but was short a processor board on this one. Anyon ehave a working one around, preferably (but not absolutely) with the bios that recognizes 3.5" drives as well as the lo/hi density 5.25" drives.

to whom it may concern if you are the owner of a compuadd laptop ar other here are some telephone numbers that will help you 1-800-554-3202 or 1-606-232-4992 good luck....

I have a Nec PC-8201a, its got the drive cable and tape drive,
but I am interested in:

b:\ Where can I can get a copy of the manual/docs?

c:\ Does anybody know where I can get parts for this thing?

d:\ Is anybody interested in buying it off me?

I have three Otrona Attaches and need parts for two of them.
Any ideas?

In our school system we have had zenith systems (386) donated. We are trying to switch the drives a: and b:. We have switched the cables, but cannot get into the cmos. We have tried Del and f2 on boot-up but no luck. Until we can get into the cmos it will not do us any good. Any ideas will be apprecitated.

I have 4 Acer 1100/33 (386) servers which needs ram. Acer is no help: I need proprietary memory modules to increase RAM above 8x1 meg SIMMs. Tried using 4 meg SIMMS, systems lock up at boot (Acer confirms: 1 meg SIMMs, maximum).
The module uses a MB connector identical to those used for VLB; these machines are very much prior to VLB. Any information (modules for sale or schematic of module for sale) will help.

I am looking for the memory settings for a CompuAdd
386SX-20. The system has a bank of ten dip switches
(labeled SW1), a 16 bit riser card, four 30 pin simm slots,
and uses the Chips chipset. The settings I am most
interested in are those for the memory...

Thanks in advance for the help!

I recently acquired a Zenith ZBV-3339-EQ (made in 1988). It was partially disassembled by the previous owner, but is complete & was working before disassembly.
It has 2 RLL HDs, & one 360K 5╝" floppy.

I need manuals or help setting up the cables & jumpers.
Right now it won't boot when I hook up only the floppy
("SEEK ERROR" msg). Swapped drive for a 1.2MB to no effect.
Machine will drag heads across drive on POST, but won't read any disks at all.

The BIOS seems to refuse to see any HD #0 no matter how I arrange the cables, but will see a HD #1. Since it won't boot, I can't get at #1 either.

ZDS has no support for this oldie so I turn to you...

Thanks,

I have a Tandy 2500 SX33 and have added the maximum 8 megs of ram, making 10 megs total.

Is there any way I can add more memory?

And is there anything else I can do to upgrade it? I bought an overdrive processor, but it didn't work.

My main interests are greater speed and possibly listening to "real audio".

Thanks to all in advance,

I am currently trying to get a external modem working for a friends IBM ps/2 286 1 mb, 20 mb HD.
#1. I need to get into the bios.
#2. Is the 9pin female end on the computer port1?

Basically the problem is this, I can't get *any* software to recognize the modem ( hayes accura 14.4 ).Windows, dos based, nothing, have tried adjusting com port settings, ( speeds, data, parity ) used mode, and Control panel.
Any suggestions?

I have a TANDY 1000 EX that my parents couldn't get to run for them.The pdeskmate would not boot up for them.Helppppp!!!!! Appreciatively yours.

I have an Osborne II complete with internal
modem, external video plug, boxes,and boxes
of programs, and a set of "Sam's photo fact"
Plugged it in last year it still works great

If anyone out there is interested in it
please e-mail me

For Crazy J:
1)The error message 4040 201 indicates a memory test error at byte location 4040
in hexadecimal. That's 16448 in decimal. Since that's a low number and your IBM
PC works without the card, you must have 16k memory installed on the board, and the
error is occuring just above that, it must be in the first (lowest) bank of chips
on the memory card. Get some known good chips (they're probably 64k memory chips)
and replace the ones in the lowest bank on the card.
2) Your computer will boot ANY version of DOS; you don't need an old version. I have
booted DOS 6.22 on my PC just fine. You just need to make a bootable DOS disk using
a DOUBLE-DENSITY (NOT high-density) 5╝ disk. Use FORMAT B: /S /F:160 just in case you
have the early single-sided disk drive. You can use FORMAT B: /S /F:360 if you have
the more common double-sided drive (assuming the 5╝ drive is the B: drive).

Does anyone have a 3.5" 1.44 MB floppy for a Compuadd 386 Machine? The drive is the same height as a 5.25 floppy, but the same width as a 3.5.

I just acquired an IBM 5150. I have a two part question:

1) The 5150 has an AST Six Pak Plus card that, when installed
generates the error "Parity Check 2". Preceeding that msg
4040 201 is shown. I remove the Six Pak and the 5150 boots
to ROM BASIC just fine. Can anybody help me troubleshoot
the SIx Pak without having to blindly move chip after chip
until the msg. changes?

2) Yep, it boots to ROM BASIC, 'cause I don't have any bootable
disks (DOS 1.0 / 2.0?) from that era. Could anybody offer
help here as well? I have a few obscure parts / items that
I could trade. I will also offer money, that usally being
the best incentive. The system has dual 5.25" drives and
of course no HDD. FUN! 8)

ThanX!

I can also try to relay messages via my e-mail, though he is frequently hard to reach. Snail mail is preferable.

I am still looking for the setup disk for a Compaq laptop 386 s/20 lte. Several people responded - but it requires a rather particular setup program, apparently. The computer said each was either too old or too new for that model. I added 8 megs of ram and now have to hit f1 every time I boot. Otherwise it's a sweetheart!

Need info on PS/2 style external floppy drives, IBM type 4869. I have three that have connectors just like the external floppy connector on many floppy controllers and I have the software for them. Will these work on a stock external floppy port or is there a specialized PS/2 port that has to be used? I'd like to let a local homeschool group have these so they could load and run older 5.25" copy protected software on a PS/2 model 30 machine (no room for a 5.25 anyway). It doesn't have an external port but with trying it on an external port on another machine I wasn't able to get it to work, any of the three.

Anyone that knows these units and can offer any tidbit of information would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to access the CMOS setup for
a Zenith ZWX-0248-62 desktop computer?

A friend of mine has an old Altos 586 computer, but unfortunately we lost the operating system (Xenix) disks and we lost the access password, so we will apreciate if some one can help us with information of how to find 5 1/4" disks.

Need to find out how to get into the bios of an amstrad 1386 v1.11. Tried all the keystrokes I could think of (hopefully I don't need a disk). Any suggistations?

I have a GRiD 1755 that works fine, but I have NO
documentation. I do have the setup program and am lucky
enough to have a working (ha ha) copy of Win95 on this thing.
My problems: The batteries will not charge beyond 3 volts.
The charger does not put out voltage.
I do not have the original OS or proper Windows ver.
The modem is slow.
I can't find the PC Card slot. (I heard one exists)
Memory upgrades are unavailable.
It is a 20 Mhz 80386.
The LCD is monochrome.

It works, but slowly in Windows 95.
It only has a speaker in the sense of the modem speaker,
which plays WAV files.
