Tarsi,

   I found one set of Compaq Dos 3.3 disk that have the setup program. I
tried to copy them with Teledisk but encountered a read error and Teledisk
decided to chug endlessly so I had to stop. SOMEWHERE I have the install
file from Comapq to create 360k disks. If you can't find the Bi setup
utiliy, let me know and I'll dig around till I find it. What do you need
to know about the 286? I have the 286 Product Service Training manual.
