Don't laugh too hard. This is a 486-33 system whose CMOS backup battery
has died. Surprise, surprise. Does anyone know how to run Setup? Is a
Setup program required? For that matter, who ever heard of a Memorex PC?

It's not mine, just asking for a friend. :)

Thanks.

Hi Sam...

Not exactly certain of the question, but if you're
looking to get into bios setup, try these:

DELETE
ESC
F1
F2
F10
INSERT
TAB
RESET (twice, rapidly)
CTRL/ALT/+
CTRL/ALT/?
CTRL/ALT/ENTER
CTRL/ALT/ESC
CTRL/ALT/INSERT
CTRL/ALT/S
CTRL/ESC
CTRL/INS

Of course you've looked carefully at the first
screen shown, the key combo may be displayed at the
bottom left.

And I too have never heard of a memorex pc, it may well
be one of those few that required you to boot from a
floppy and run setup from the floppy.

Hope this is helpful.

Take care.

Ken

Try Ctrl - Alt - Esc for this machine. Some of these used that sequence.
There were others that absolutely required the BIOS set-up disk. This must
be done before the machine starts to access the operating system for boot.

Sam,
If you can't find a key combination that works, here is a small generic
program. SETUP.COM on http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/bin Download it,
put it on a boot floppy and run it. I've used it on 286 and up (not lately ;-)

Thanks. I will try it.

Hopefully, I can boot using a 720 kB floppy!
