Problem is, compaq just nuked the older than 286 series from their
older section tech-ref. This machine is just run of mill 286 and the
jumper and switch settings are on sticker stuck to top of drive cage
or under the case cover. To set it up, you need special bootable
setup disk. I can send you a file to help this by email attachment.

I had 286 w/ 2MB all in 256K x 1 DIPs on motherboard itself. (!!)
Whole machine is heavy and power supply fan is NOISY.
