IBM PS/2 error codes

[CTho9305]

I haven't had any luck with these.... plugging in a keyboard/mouse solved one (00030100)
now, after the ram check, I get:

(the OK has like a no-smoking sign on it (not ok))

00060100 = OK -> IBM

00016500

I9990303
[/qoute]


whats this mean?

That is a bad code. It usually means the system cannot be fixed. Go to IBMs website for mor info.

ok, looks like the first one is floppy. solved that. looks like someone unplugged the floppy cable.

i can't find any info on "00016500" though

here are IBM's disks... I tried the one for the model, and the one for the specific processor card, but neither works. both boot, show an IBM logo, and then say:

------------------------------------------------------
|..............................Message.....................|
|The Reference Diskette in the default.......|
|drive will not run on this system...............|
|Your system is now locked. To..................|
|restart your system, press........................|
|Ctrl+Alt+del...............................................|
------------------------------------------------------|

any idea what that means?
