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 -- Cyril Slip | A *slip* of the *disk* lexic fingers | Slip-Disk Computer Support | can totally change the meaning | Bristol | of everything |
