Last week I dug out my first 'Proper' computer - an IBM PS1 with a 486 25sx cpu and an 85Mb hdd. It's been in my shed, uuntouched since about 1996 and refused to start up. After trying everything I could think of, to no avail, I replaced tbe CMOS battery and everything came back up! I was delighted to be able to once again experience the joys of Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.0.
