I'm very glad you asked this, as researching it let me to a very useful
page.
The file you want is:
ftp://ftp.hp.com:21/pub/servers/obsolete/286setup.exe
The very useful page where I found that is:
Dick Perron's Hardware Information page,
http://www.gw.total-web.net/~dperr/pc_hdwe.htm . No frames or
javascript, and very few images. Mr. Perron notes that this was entirely
intentional =) . This page alone will answer a lot of the setup
questions we've been having.
I located the page using http://www.google.com , a new, underutilized
search engine with a simple page and interface.
