The accountant has a laptop that he wanted me to look at. It looks to me
like there's nothing wrong with it except a dead CMOS battery.
How do I get into the setup of an Epson Equity LT-286? And what kind of
battery does it need?
I tried most of the usual setup suspects. Does it require a setup progam
on floppy? It was a 2nd hand machine and the owner doesn't have any disks
for it or manuals (just the machine, power supply, and nice carrying
case).

You've been quite busy since finishing U. I envy your Grid finds. I picked up
an EE 286 a while back which the previous owner had hard-wired for an external
supply. The AC connector had been trashed. It's a real pain to get at the
batteries. In mine there was what looked like 5 C-cell sized batteries wrapped
in plastic with no external markings. Can't remember if I found anything on the
Epson site. I set it aside for later repair or cannibalization cause there were
many faults.
