HELP: Compaq Portable II BIOS ROM Request
Hi. I have a Compaq Portable II computer (1986, 286 luggable PC) and I
recently installed a 1.44MB floppy drive. The Bios ROM chip that is in the unit only supports up to 1.2 5.25" floppies. I did some research and for me to be able to use a 1.44MB 3.5" floppy I need BIOS ROM revision .N3 or later. I have searched the web for over a week and haven't found anyplace selling the chip, or any place with the image. If I could get the image, I could have it burned to an EPROM and then place that chip into the unit. If anyone has the actual BIOS chip or the image, please post there and/or email me at johndraugr [at] soznet [Dot] net. Thanks John
