A friend gave me his old IBM 286 which I'd like to revive for my
wife's use. When I power on, a red light indicates the machine is
looking at the 5.25 floppy drive, then I hear two beeps, and
nothing at all appears on the screen. I'm thinking that maybe the
BIOS somehow got trashed but I don't have a clue what to do about
it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the monitor. I
think the computer just doesn't seem to know it has a hard drive
and monitor connected. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
I tried removing and reseating all the cards because that's
sometimes solved problems when I had my own 286, but it didn't do
any good with this machine.
Thanks in advance.
Sam
