Folks,

Discovered I had said old machine in storage the other day and I thought
it'd make a neat little webserver for when I'm away from home working and
will have nothing better to do than PHP hacking.

First time I powered up it sprang to life but locked up because the CMOS
battery (non-standard dammit) is obviously flat. Subsequent powerups with or
without battery installed (you can replace the floppy drive with a dedicated
AC input) result in a beep and pretty much nothing else.

Anyone come across these wee beasties before? Aside from when they were new,
obviously :o)

cheers
