Well i think its the keyboard that is causing all the problems since it goes directly to a 301 44 error, and when it starts up, it goes directly to ROM basic and starts typing gibberish, also the speaker keeps beeping whilst all that is happening. Once i start typing on the keyboard it stops and runs basic normally. So i unplugged the keyboard to see if it would boot dos, then it displays just 301 and goes to basic.With that being said i tried turning the computer on, with just a random disk in the drive, when i did that, the drive recognized it wasn't a system disk and asked me to put in the dos start up disk, and a course when i plug the keyboard in, it goes about the same routine as mentioned above, I suppose what i am asking is. Should the 5150 be able to boot the dos start up disk without a keyboard?
any help will be very much appreciated
