OK, so there are some reasons as to why one should not put the machine
on its side. However, I do it and have only a Hercules M/G clone
half-card  and HD Controller 1/2 card in slots. Everything works well
save for one thing: When I shut off the computer the CMOS (this is a
Hyundai 286-10 AT) loses all its data. When it's flat on a desk, it
doesn't. The connection to the MB is solid? Any ideas?
