System Configuration Problem Checklist
❑ Check the motherboard for proper configuration (see section 2.4).
See the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact your
computer dealer to determine if your motherboard requires configuration.
❑ If the system message Missing Operating System or No ROM BASIC, System
Halted appears, the disk drive attached to the QLA2xxx board is not
partitioned in a format compatible with the board. The proper geometry for
use with the QLA2xxx boards is the Microsoft standard.
❑ Drives less than one gigabyte are 64 heads, 32 sectors per track
❑ Drives greater than one gigabyte are 255 heads, 63 sectors per track
If the drive is not formatted with this geometry, repartition and format the
drive using the DOS FDISK and FORMAT utilities.
