Known issues:
- DALLAS RTC coin cell empty
The motherboard's Real-Time Clock (RTC) chip contains a coin cell that may have drained, causing the loss of CMOS settings. This can result in an inability to save settings, causing system instability or failure to boot. To fix this, the RTC chip can be replaced with an equivalent or repaired by cutting into it and soldering on a new external coin cell holder. Replacement guides are available at https://github.com/necroware/nwX287 or https://github.com/necroware/nw12887, depending on the actual chip used.
Notes:
Passwords are stored in the NMC9346N chip located at U29 (below the EVEN BIOS chip). If you have acquired one of these computers from E-Waste that had a password set, you will need to replace this chip with a confirmed blank replacement.

5cfix.com in autoexec with the "bad" BIOS version should make Win3.1 work. This is not a tsr and doesn't take up ram
