I have Award bios V4.51pg
Green PCI/ISA system (whatever that means)
6x86L-Pr120+CPU
with string stating 02/26/98-i430TX-W83977-2A591A1BC-8N
I have no idea what motherboard this unit has. All it will do is boot up, and gives the message CMOS checksum error. I have put a new battery in it so that's not the problem. I just aquired this unit as is, and do not know the background on what has been tried before I got it. I can get into the bios by hitting the delete key, but when I'm in the bios my keyboard freezes and I can't do anything. Iwas told it is a Pentium 200MHG, 128 ram, no operating system, but I'm not sure. I have tried booting from Windows 98SE startup disk but it doesn't seem to read the A drive at all. Hitting the F1 key to continue does nothing. I was hoping that by upgrading the bios it may solve my problem but I have no documentation on this unit at all so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The former owner told me that it just would not hold the bios settings. Thanks
