- Yo !
- This is the deal, a few weeks ago I bought my father an old 286
- without a harddisk. I also got him a HD and controller card but ....
- I've tried to install, configure, or what you call it, but it refuses
- to work. The HD is OK (checked), the controller card is OK (not checked)
- The 286 is a SPERRY and it's a kind of funny pc.
- It will only boot on a special dos 3.3 from commodore.
- Anyway, the HD is a miniscribe model 3425, the card is an adaptec ACB2002
- and the pc is thus a SPERRY 286. When I try to configure it it
- gives me the message - ERROR READING FIXED DISK.
- Is there anyone that have any ideas ?
- It would be greatly appreciated !
