I own an Austin 286/12.5 MHz AT clone on which I am unable
to successfully run Microsoft Windows 286, v2.11. I get the
initial graphics title screen, the hard disk spins for a while,
and then the machine hangs.
The people at Austin suggested that it might be a hard disk
formatting problem, and that I should reformat my drive and try
again. This did not help. They suggested that my configuration
for the built-in autoswitching EGA was wrong. I configured the
EGA the way they suggested, but still no luck. The Austin people
said they had no problems running Windows 286 on a 286/12.5.
Has anyone else run into this problem with an Austin
286/12.5 EGA machine? Please email me with any helpful
insights...
Thank you!
