Help! I just bought a used compaq deskpro and didn't get the manuals with it.
Hopefully someone out there can answer a few questions for me.
This particular deskpro has an 8086 and runs at (I think) 8mhz.
1>Where can I get the manuals?
2> Can I upgrade with MS-dos or do I have to stick with compaq dos? I ask
because before I got the hard disk fixed I borrowed a copy of PC-dos to boot
with. everything worked fine except when I tried basic it asked for the
compaq dos disk.
3> Why does the power light change from green to red? I have two theories..
either its red when you boot with pc-dos and it doesn't like it... or else
the system speed is 4/8mhz switchable and the light indicates speed.
Thanks for any possible info.
