For decades I have this Philips P3302-850 386 PC with Co-Processor 387
Mem 18432 Total, 640k + 17408 ext + 384k extra
Holds 2 extra long special mem cards.
Thing is battery fail, so replaced the 6Vdc.Batt.
Harddisk is a Micropolis 1558 ESDI
Should be ;
cyl 1224
heads 15
wpcom 1224,
lzone 1224
sec 35
size 314 MB
I managed with several types of Setup disks , Like Gsetup , but fails the Hardisk settings
and can not set mem right amound, but is works somehow a bit.
Now HD setting is
21, cyl 32, heads67, sec 48 precomp 25966,steprate 67, totalbytes 52,690,94
That as far Checkit can read the bios.
But I can now acces the Harddisk.
Its also dubblespaced.
Sadly no BIOSSETUP to be found on harddisk.
With other 386 mainboard I read that Harddisk and made a bootdisk to boot the P3302 with dblspace
and now have C-H drives and can acces the drive
Question,
What problematic it is to have the wrong BIOS harddisk nr set?
Its running Win95 version 4.00.950
here is what I could extract from the bios P3302-850
