I have an orriginal IBM PC that gives me the following errors upon bootup: 4098 201 301 And then it refuses to boot. When I try turning on the machine without the DOS disk, it goes to basic (after flashing the error codes). I know that the 301 error means a bad keyboard (that might explain why the kerboard isn't working), but what do the rest of the numbers mean? Any help would be appreciated. -Borys slusarcz@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

The file "post" in the comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc archives contains a rather long list of the Power-On Self-Test error codes.
