a friend essentially gave me a mitsubishi MP286L which
is a 286 laptop. it has
a phoenix bios, but is posting with a bios checksum error. it will boot off a
floppy however. i think i hear a hard drive spin up, but is not being
recognized. i cannot remember how to get to the setup utility and aol's
browser is unusable to search with. any ideas?
Hate to sound like a smartass but your first step would be to dump AOL and get a
real ISP. No really you might try Infoseek and they've found the most for anything
I've ever searched for. I'm not sure if Mitsubishi would be any help since they
are such a diverse company with cars, electronics, computers and all.
Also you might try http://www.Windrivers. com / they run leads to most companies
and will probably have a link to the correct section of Mitsu.
