Keywords: IBM,System,setup,disks
 I am working on the volunteer program called, Computers for Schools, which is
 run by the Telephone Pioneers, a charitable organization. The goal of the program
 is to recycle used government personal computer systems and provide working systems
 to the school boards. The program has just gotten underway here in the Ottawa area,
 and currently were finding that the majority of PC's, mostly 286 and 386 based systems
 are coming in with dead lithum batteries, which means the CMOS system memory is lost
 and hence the systems don't recongnize any of the peripherials. We despritely need
 system setup disks, from all brands and makes of IBM PC's and compatibles. If
 you have a PC/AT system, and wouldn't mind sending a setup disk floppy with
 instructions to use it, or if you know of a possible source for such disks, please
 let me know. My mailing address is,
    L. Delpup, Bell Northern Research,
    CAR 071 STN C, PO Box 3511,
    Ottawa Ont. CAN, K1Y-4H7.
 Thankyou, your co-operation would be greatly appreciated...
