hi,
i have a 386sx computer which i purchaesd from pc:brand (chicago)
i just recently added 2MB of memory (1MB 80ns SIPPs) to give me a system
total of 6MB of memory. when i boot i get the following message:
XCMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
press <F1> to continue
basically what i need is the Neat setup program, usually called setneat.com,
so i can go in an edit the cmos to reflect my current configuration. in
some cases the software is named differently but what it basically looks
like is a menued interface for the set up of chips: 82c206, 82c215, 82c212,
and 28c211.
btw, pc:brand service has been rather, well, not very valuable. the first
utilities disk they sent me took two moths to arrive and arrived blank.
the second disk arrived in 4 days but was full of bad sectors and what i
managed to salcage off the disk either wouldn't run (system hang) or
returned a divide by zero error.
any help will truely be appreciated....
