Some unauthorized person has activated the BIOS password facility on
one of our laboratory Zenith PC's.  The machine in question is a
Zenith Data Systems Z-368 20 Mhz.


We find a reference in the manual (pg. S-2) to an EEPROM described as
"1024 bit non-volatile memory stores user passoword".  We've pulled
various chips off the board in the vacinity of the BIOS but to no
avail.  We would like to know the precise location of this EEPROM.  We
are prepared to replace the chip if necessary.


If you have any other tips, or know the phone number for a
service/tech support person that could help us we would be most
grateful.


Thanks in advance.

Fraser
