AB T47 Programming Terminal BIOS

AB T47 Programming Terminal BIOS

(OP)
I was given a T47 to test and on power up it says: Invalid configuration information - please run SETUP program. Is this the BIOS setup? It appears that the hard drive is bad, but I'm not sure yet.

Is there a way to get into the BIOS and look at the boot sequence. The floppy drive works. When you try the 'C' prompt, it comes back with: Invalid drive specification.

Any help appreciated.

thanks,

CTG

RE: AB T47 Programming Terminal BIOS

I have had the same problem in the past. The battery went dead for the bios and the hard drive settings are lost.
I believe you need the Configuration floppy to get into the bios settings.

Thanks for the reply. How do I obtain a configuration floppy?

I found the file you need to access your bios.
