The Zenith 161 was my first PC. Back when I was strong enough to lift it, I would carry it from job to job. I still have it and pull it out to play with it from time to time. The grand kids are here for the week and I pulled it out to show them what computing was like back in the early days of the PC.
I am getting a message "1701" on the screen. I figured that was the HD on a card going bad. I put a floppy disk in with DOS 3.2. The system booted from that after display of the 1701 for a bit.
I opened the case up and pulled out the HD on a card. Put her back together and booted from the same DOS boot disk. Now it gives me a message that says "partition invalid". I figure that the system still expects the HD to be there. I don't see any CMOS setup in this old baby, so I figure it must be some dip switches. Don't have any manuals that have survived this long. Anyone have any suggestions on getting this old girl to boot again?
