[comp.os.msdos.misc] Where does the Hard Disk Controller BIOS live?

Hello,

I've got a no-name 286 at-clone that worked fine until the battery died
a short while ago.  I've got a battery pack for it, but the AMI bios
is an old version, and the parameters for the hard drive aren't "sticking"
in the CMOS.

I recall that once before, I had to use debug and type something like:

	-g0800:xxxx (example)

to enter the controller's BIOS and do the setup and everything worked
fine.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks,
