I have an orriginal IBM PC that gives me the following errors upon bootup:

4098 201
 301

And then it refuses to boot. When I try turning on the machine without the DOS
disk, it goes to basic (after flashing the error codes).

I know that the 301 error means a bad keyboard (that might explain why the
kerboard isn't working), but what do the rest of the numbers mean?

Any help would be appreciated.
