I just got a T3100/20 on eBay as-is. So here's what happens when it boots:
First, an all-red screen. Then it tests the memory.
Then it beeps and shows this screen:
The only thing to do is press F1. Then it restarts, spins up the HDD, tests the FDD, beeps, and then turns off both drive lights and rests at a blinking cursor, where it remains indefinitely:
I have an SCSI card for it, if I put it in it does the same thing but says "SCSI" in the boot screen. Any ideas what I can do with it? Is not the T3100 supposed to have DOS in ROM, or at least some way to enter the BIOS settings, or some way to boot from floppy disk?
Help is, as tends to be the case, appreciated. Thanks.
