Aloha,
 Hi. Presently I own a Model 30 PS/2. The old one with 2 720 drives and
running on the 8086. I am getting an error everytime I boot my
computer up that I have to set the time.. and to press F1 to continue.
Can anyone tell me what this means. I suspect that the internal clock
battery is dead and that I have to replace it., I opened my case and
could not find the battery.. can anybody tell me where it is.  
 Another thing, my PS/2 has the MCGA graphics capability. Can anybody
tell me what this is? How many colors can it show? Is it better than
EGA.. close to VGA? I have an IBM monochrome monitor that came with it.
Is this an VGA monochrome? And is it possible to somehow hook up the
PCjr monitor to my PS/2 so that I can have some color?
 I know these are alot of questions.. and I thank you for your time. 
Any help is appreciated. I have alot of articles to read on this
newsgroup (over 1300!) so.. can you reply directly to me? Thank you.
						Mahalo from sunny Hawaii!
