win311

[revenaz.jean]

I installed anew a PC with dos 622 and WIN 311 + MS Office 4.0

Everything goes fine except that at times I have no mouse and no keyboard at start.

Could it be the Bios batteries that are coming out of service ?

How to find and replace them ?
My computer is a IBM with a 80486 in 386 spread mode. Thanks for any advice

Hello Jean,
Welcome to Virtual Dr.
The battery should be on the motherboard, and would look like either a round disk like a fat coin, or like a small cylinder. Have you tried switching keyboard and mouse to make sure they are not the problem?
Good Luck,

What kind of keyboard? AT or PS/2
What kind of mouse? serial or PS/2

Doubtful that it is the battey. I am thinking controllers, especially if they both are PS/2

Silly question but how dod yo get all that installed if the keyboard isnt functioning?
