It's been along times since I've used an AT, and i never had an 2286, but standard (PC) cables should work, just don't forget to adjust the BIOS-settings (AFAIR the 2286 came with a 5.25 drive at 1.2MB, so 1.44MB should be possible).

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

hmmmm, what about bios settings?  How would I change them?  I haven't read anything about that.

Having no manual really sucks...


Most of them ATs had a startup-message going like this:

"Press DEL to enter BIOS"
 ;-)
