Well, it took me a bit. Did the battery add on for the RTC. Had to dig around to find a floppy drive that would work, but was able to use an older 386 machine with dos 6.22 to build some Service boot disks. Got the system booted and loaded the operating system. Set the time, and the system is so far working just fine. Waiting on some hardware to put a scsi2sd and will upgrade floppy drives as well. But so far so good. On Sun, Mar 7, 2021 at 12:54 AM Kevin Moore <talon.k@gmail.com> wrote:

the RTC is dead,
Expose the battery terminals on the chip and solder on an aux battery cell (google; lots of threads on this). Or take your chances with Chinese replacement chips, _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com https://pairlist7.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
