I've also never seen a system come up with BIOS messages from two companies: Phoenix 80386 ROM BIOS Version 3.06 Copyright (c) 1985,86 Phoenix Technologies Ltd All Rights Reserved CHIPS AND TECHNOLOGIES AT/386 SYSTEM SOFT SETUP VERSION 1.12

I'm foozling with a portable 386 system that keeps coming up with an "Incorrect Setting In BIOS" error. I've replaced the battery and tried the several DOS-based CMOS utilities from Simtel, but the error persists. Part of the problem is that this is a Taiwanese clone and the motherboard bears *no* manufacturer or model info. The only badging at all is on the front, which says "LCD 386". It looks like a fairly standard motherboard, has a Seagate ST-251 and a NewTronics DSDD 5.25" floppy drive, 8-bit EGA (I think) graphics card with an internal connector to a 640x240 mono LCD. The keyboard seems to be a regular AT type, clips on the front of the case over the LCD. Dimensions are about 12" tall, 17-18" wide, and 9" front-to-back.

My questions are, should I be trying to find a Phoenix setup utility or a C&T util? Am I correct in thinking that's a disk-based utility, rather than NVRAM? In other words, should I be hitting Ctrl+Alt+Ins or something at boot? (Already tried that and all the usual suspects, no love.) Any help or information would be appreciated. Doc
