ADVICE_80885
HDTS has detected that your machine is an XT-compatible. Your machine type does not contain drive-type tables in its BIOS.
ADVICE_CGA*
HDTS has detected that this system is limited to CGA mode only. This lower resolution will limit the quality of the graphics, but we will proceed anyway.
ADVICE_GFX$
Your video adapter was not able to go into CGA, EGA, or VGA graphics mode.
ADVICE_IDE=
The IDE Interrogator demands information that only an IDE drive can provide. Running this utility on a non-IDE drive (ie. MFM, RLL, etc.) might cause the system to hang. Press Ctl-Alt-Del to restore your system. THIS WILL NOT HARM YOUR DRIVE.
ADVICE_NO_HD:
HDTS has detected that no hard drives are installed in your system. IDE Interrogator requires the presence of 1 or more hard drives.
ADVICE_NO_MATCH4
No drives were found that match your specifications.
ADVICE_NOSCAN?
HDTS expects the drive-type table to reside at a specific address within your system's BIOS. The drive-type table in this machine is not located at this conventional address.
ADVICE_VM86
HDTS has detected that your machine is in Virtual 86 mode. If RAM has been mapped over your system BIOS (F000-FFFF), the following drive types may be in error. To correct this, simply inform your memory manager to exclude the BIOS area (F000-FFFF).
