Who can help me? I own a very old 286 Computer from 1989 and it still works
fine!
Now I want to change it's configuration but I don't know how to get into the
bios-setup.

It's 286 MODULAR BIOS VERSION 3.03 by AWARD SOFTWARE INC. for LIBTEK

I tried pressing "delete" while booting and so on but it doesn't work..
So please help me and mail me!

Volker

Try too press during booting CTRL-ALT-ESC.

If none of those suggestions work, try disconnecting the floppy drive's
data cable. During POST, the BIOS will probably detect the problem and
respond with a message like:

"FDD fail. F1 to continue or F2 for SETUP."
