- I have a 80286-based system from 1987 made by PC's Limited. I believe
- this is the company that eventually became Dell. I am trying to add a 1.44 MB
- FD to this system. However, after running the reconfiguration utility and
- telling it that I now have a "HIGH CAPACITY" drive, the system fails to boot
- and prints the error message "MISMATCH". Do I need a new FDHD controller card?
- Or do I need a new BIOS from Dell? Does anyone have experience with this
- model hardware?
