BIOS 8088
Sorry for the language is not perfect but a translation ...
Hello Boys, I am a new user and I have a problem that I bring a long time. I have a "museum piece" a Philips NMS TC100 1989 that still works perfectly unless the BIOS, but the BIOS works properly but can not log into. I tried all possible combinations that I found online, the motherboard is ACER_710_II _N and the processor is un'AMD 8088, I downloaded a few programs to see the system and tells me that the BIOS is IBM, strange because at that times this type of machine that was a clone of IBM, but had the BIOS of Phoenix. Surely you do not know this old PC, but many times if one of you the past is in your hands you can give me a straight, because these models have been sold to thousands! We enclosed a picture, thanks for any answers, GoodBye. |

have you tried pressing some of the F1 ... F12? and doesn't it say anything on start? like "press [something] to enter bios"

mickketto, your description of the problem is rather unclear. Which one is it:
1. You don't know how to enter the BIOS. 2. You know how to enter the BIOS, but it is password-protected. |

Does you machine display on the screen "Press [button] to enter BIOS" when it's starting?
Press and hold that key and you should get into BIOS setup. It should be a single button. A lot of old PCs used Delete for this purpose. |

Indeed, most of them used DEL.

For Russ: you write only the version of bios (4.06) nothing more.
For The fifth Horseman and Dosraider: Do not you write what you have to press button,you write only the version of bios |

Then try pressing DELETE when it shows the BIOS version.
See if it does anything. |

try holding the left shift pressed while booting (from start till you hopefully get in the bios)
