I was given a vintage 286 AT computer that has been in storage for over 12 years. It has a MoBo with PCC-77AT05 on it. It has a 1985 Phoenix 80286 ROM BIOS and a WDC 61000107 Controller with an ST-225 HD. It also has 5 1/4" and a 3 1/2" floppy drives both of which are in working condition. I have several older DOS disks and they load OK.
The problem is when I turn on the computer, the BIOS message describing it displays, but then the message "Internal PHD controller not installed or External PHD is not powered on" appears. Just what is not working? I have unable to find the right key strokes to get into the BIOS, but is that the problem? Would appreciate any thoughts on this. Thank you..... Bill
