- Breakthru 286 and Zenith 150, 151, 158.
-
- Older Zenith clones fail to boot because the timer test is tighter
- than the timer test on IBM's and most other clones. Zenith will
- provide you with a current BIOS ROM that fixes this problem.
- Call your local dealer, or Zenith at 616 982 3571 and ask for
- part number 4444-358-4 for Zenith 158's, or part numbers
- 4444-229-14 and 4444-2660-14 for Zenith 105/151.

- Alternatively you can override the timer test in the BIOS ROM
- as follows:
-
- Switch on computer.
- Computer gives timer error message.
- Press Ctl+Alt+Ins to access the Multi function ROM.
- At the ">" prompt type
- BF
- to boot from the floppy.
-
- The computer will not recognise the hard disk at this point.
- In order to boot from the hard disk, you must first run the
- supplied program ZENITH.COM.
-
- We recommend you put the command ZENITH in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the
- floppy.
-
- Thanks to James Vahl for this fix.
