	I had a similar problem a little while ago, after much 
	messing around, swopping controller boards, etc, and having 
	obtained a copy of the IBM setup disk i finally found the 
	cure. It needed a replacement battery !
	The CMOS appeared to be OK but it was at fault somewhere
	and the new battery solved it. Note: you may need a copy 
	of the setup disk in order to 'get it all together' after 
	having made any changes.
	With batteries about 15ukp from Maplin's its worth a try.
	best of luck
	Cyril
