CMOS Checksum Error
6 messages in this thread
I've recently started getting a "CMOS Checksum Error" on the FIRST BOOT of
my Bridgeboard. When I reboot, it's fine. I have tried moving things
around in my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, but with no luck.
This error pretty much came out of the blue. It could possibly stem from a
software installation, because I have installed a couple of pieces of
software on the PC side, as well as a couple of things on the Amiga side.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It's really
annoying, and keeps me from booting into Windows.
Thanks in advance…..Nancy
means you need to run the setup program (configuration. ie, where you
setup waht drives you have, date,time, what floppies, etc…)

Hi Nancy…
Was one of the pieces of software DOS 5? I installed it on a PC last week and
it scrambled the CMOS. I had to redo all the SETUP settings. I thought I'd
zapped it with static electricity or something, but I've since heard of this
happening to others with DOS 5. It pays to know what your SETUP says!

No, the technician in the shop originally gave me the wrong setting (47 –
for a 240 meg drive!) – and did not include the manual when I picked up
the machine. I reset it to AUTO. Finally, I got the drive specs. Now, I
have it set up properly. No probs w/DOS 5, though. Wonder how DOS 6 will
come through. I'm thinking of trying DR DOS. Surplus software has a
fabulous deal on it, and it's supposed to be pretty good. Have you gotten
any feedback yet on that product?…..Nancy
A couple of people use it…no problems reported, except that JLINK doesn't
like it much. (I think..been a while since I checked into this…)

Marion, do you have any details about the JLINK problem? I'm seriously
considering this board. My slots are full now, and, unfortunately, I need
another peripheral. Advice will be much appreciated…..Nancy
