Hi,

i got the Plato too, but the BIOS seems to be broken. I cannot enter the BIOS, but boot from floppy. Please would you provide your BIOS and maybe the upgrade tool?

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards.

Your BIOS is fine, this is just one of many bugs. Make sure the Dallas chip has a working battery, then boot into DOS, use date and time to correctly set date and time, power off, disconnect the floppy drive, turn back on and wait for the floppy drive error to appear. Now you should be able to enter the BIOS. After saving to CMOS, it should work as normal again.

Sounds nice - i think a have the version from Vobis or Escom, which should be the intel version.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
