[comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware] PS/2 30/286 weird startup.

millia@athena.cs.uga.edu (David W. Millians) (05/27/91)

I realize a 30/'286 is not an MCA ps/2, but I hope somebody can help me anyway.
I tried to start one up yesterday, and after it popped up and did the memory 
check successfully, it put 2 of the IBM ascii graphics on the screen and 
stopped. The graphics were a top right corner and a plain square if that's     
important. That's it. ANy clues? Oh- did not boot with floppy either.
Thanks in advance.

Does it look like a key? Did you forget your password?

Nothing was wrong. Read the manual!

Not my computer; therefore, I didn't know the password. This computer gets  
passed around year to year, when a new person takes over the leadership
position. I did look in the manual, under error codes; I did not think that
whoever had it before would have set up a password; even though, I will admit
to being lazy in not looking to see what the password prompt looked like. My
bad; discovered it 14 hours after I posted.
