How to enter the Frael King BIOS

[Casino Ambulante]

Hello beautiful community: as per subject I would like to know how to enter the bios of an old Frael King, having cpu NEC V20 8Mhz compatible 8088: it was an Italian computer (at least in the design) distributed exclusively to the students of a computer course in Tuscany.

Thank you.
Greetings.

Most 8088 PCs do not have a traditional "BIOS setup", but yours is late enough that it might. I only have one 8088 with such a setup (Emerson 8000EC), and it is accessed with CTRL+ALT+ESC at startup.

Most 8088s used switches or jumpers. The FK, however, seems to be an interesting animal. Circa 1991, the floppy is a 1.44M 3.5" . I've read that the system could be had without the floppy and used DOS-in ROM as an option. Appears to have a linear PSU. Made in Taiwan.

There's no writing saying "press xx key to enter setup": does it means no BIOS, or It could exist the same?
Plasma: does your Emerson write "press some key to enter setup" at startup?
Thanx

My Emerson does not display any message about the setup; it's only specified in the manual.

However I found some photos of the Frael King motherboard, and there does not appear to be any battery/rtc chip which would be required to store user settings. So I think it's unlikely there is any BIOS setup screen. The only configuration jumpers seem to be PAL/TTL monitor at the front of the motherboard, and the floppy drive type on the controller card.
