I saw your question about getting into the set up of the MP286L and have a similar problem, did you ever get an answer as to how to get into the setup? I picked up one for $5 at a garage sell and the internal battery is dead so the setting didn't save. It boots from the floppy and I want to check the hard drive before I spend any money replacing the CPU battery, any help would appreciated. Richard N.
