| 275992 | 2004-09-27 05:05:00 | Hey all, I've got a very old pc (1986) which is used for EPROM programming, that has stopped booting up. Details are as follows: turn on. screen displays: Phoenix ROM BIOS v2.51. (counts up to)640k then it hangs and finally displays: Bad or missing command interpreter. any clues? |

| 275994 | 2004-09-27 05:29:00 | I have a MS-DOS disk labelled "Program Disk" but cannot read the description on it. There doesnt appear to be a back up disc. | stevo800 (6200) | ||
| 275995 | 2004-09-27 05:32:00 | Am I right to assume that this PC does not have a hard drive? Do you only have one copy of :Program Disk" and do you use that to beeot the PC? | POTUS (5276) | ||
| 275996 | 2004-09-27 05:44:00 | yes. trying that works a treat. murphys law: I had to be the one who needed to use the machine which hasnt been used for longer than any current employees have been here. so no one knew. cheers for your help. |
