One of my friends purchased an A-3000 and an AT Bridgeboard. At the time
he didn't realize there is no bay available to install the HD 5-1/4-inch
disk drive. Therefore he has been unable to bring up the DOS system to
install the operating system on his HardDisk. He does have an external
3-1/2-inch drive available, but the system will not recognize it as A: so
he is stymied. He can obtain an standard external 5-1/4-inch but does not
want to invest in one since he wants an HD unit. What does anyone
suggest?
Bill,
Your friend should be able to get a 3.5" drive to be recognized as drive
A: by the A2286. The drive cable and jumpers have to be correctly set,
and then use the setup utility on the A2286 to set Diskette 1 to 1.4M.
Use Ctrl-Alt-Esc while on the BB screen to enter the setup utility.
Hope this helps, 8)
