A friend of mine is running a P233 with Win98 and American Megatrends
BIOS. Whenever the pc is hard booted, it recognizes the HDD, CD, etc,
then says 'CMOS Checksum Error - Press F1 to Continue' . Once booted up
it seems to work fine, except that the date has to be reset. Can anybody
suggest a reason for this annoying little fault?

BTW.. the CMOS battery has been replaced.
