Hi!
I’ve bought cheaply Decstation 316sx, which of course has dead CMOS battery. I downloaded UG43316C.EXE, as suggested in this post: digital DECstation 316sx I successfully managed to make the setup floppy, but unfortunately I run into an issue while running it. The setup program thinks, that it’s incompatible with my machine.

This SETUP program doesn't support this computer.

There are some bodge wires on the motherboard. I don’t think they have anything to do with the issue, but I don’t know what they are for anyway…
The computer otherwise works fine. It boots from bootable floppies.
Does anyone know what should I try next?

It turns out that this is rebrtanded Tandy 4016sx. Setup for that compter from Tvdog's Archive worked for me. I attach it here for anyone in need:
