Thanks for the help, been a 286 and only a 42 MB drive. I recovered the data
from the hard drive, 8051A Miniscribe, putting it in another computer, on
to a zip drive. Thank goodness the drive was still readable.
They told me at MIND Computers to press the DEL key, but this didn't work.
I got it to boot from a floppy disk (5 1/4"). Then I started getting CMOS
parity error. I think been a 286 it is dead.
