Hi guys,
I recently found an IBM PS/1 Pro, machine type 2123-E81.
The unit has been in storage for years so the battery was dead. I replaced it [it has a standard CR 2032 cell] as the old one was showing just over 0.2V
Now, when I start it up, I get 2 error codes: 161 and 163. From what I found on the web, these are related to CMOS settings.
My question: how do I get in the BIOS? Is it supposed to be on a boot disk like Compaq used to have? If so, where can I find it?
Also, it seems that there is NO INFORMATION on this system around the web, just a few bad pictures and some scarce configuration details. - I was looking for a manual or something that might help me put it back to work.
So, can anyone help me get this thing started properly? It's a weird little machine, but I like it
Thanks!
