Hauppauge 4860 mboard question

Hi,

don't know whether this is appropriate for this list, but I'll ask
anyway (it's over 10 years old).

I've got a machine which has a 4860 motherboard, this a combi
80486/80860 with EISA slots.

Overall it works fine, but there is a small problem enabling the
cache.

The battery is broken, so after turning off it loses it's BIOS and
EISA configuration. When this happens I can go into the BIOS and
setup everything, *enable the cache*, and boot from ide disk. Problem
is since the EISA configuration is still invalid, the SCSI controller
does not work.

After I setup the EISA configuration with the DOS CF.EXE utility, the
SCSI controller works, but the cache is disabled, and I cannot
re-enable it in the BIOS menu (menu item is disabled).

What can the problem be? Anyone experienced s/th similar?

regards,
chris
