Ben
I have not tried pulling the jumper yet to disconnect the battery, i
suspect the battery may be old (1994). Does any one know which jumper
pin is + or - on this board for an external battery. I only know to
connect pins 1 and 4 , so I will need to pick up some type of
connector to build an external battery.
I'm still trying to find the agoura version 1.18 if anyone has this
flash bios saved on a floppy?I did notice this bios chip is removable,
so what other options would I have for using another chip (beyond my
current knowledge)?
