If it's the machine I think it is, you have a Tatung TCS-7000 in someone
else's (Bell Tech's) packaging.

If this is truly the case (the Motherboard & disk controller will tell all,
take a look) then you're in good shape.  Call your friendly clone maker 
and get a set of Phoenix BIOS proms.

We've used the Tatung with Phoenix proms and DOS/Merge 286, and it works.
Without the Phoenix proms, it blows up during installation.
