Here's a photo of the board. Kinda hard to take with the big bar across the top. Does it help identify the mobo? Cheers, Matt Yep, that's clear enough.

[...] Quick question. I can see the jumpers. Which one is it though? There are multiple jumpers along the bottom of the board. Sorry to be a pain! Matt The whole block is J1F2. It's divided into sections A-D. Within each section the pins are numbered. So I would expect there to be a jumper over …

Found this online. Have marked the image location with a red square. Let the fun begin tonight hopefully. Thanks for the help though dionb, very much appreciated.

Okay. Done a little more hunting. It would seem that I need the two A connectors. CMOS Clear J1F2A 4-5 Clear 5-6 Normal Password Clear J1F2A 1-2 Password Enabled 2-3 Password Disabled

A pic of the motherboard, or even better a positive identification of it, would be useful... Take a look here: http://uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/pbmb1.htm PB used Intel OEM boards in this era and they generally had a separate Password Clear jumper, independent from CMOS clear. If that's the case here …

Hi there, In need of some advice. Recently picked up a C115 Packard Bell off eBay but it has a password set on it that I can't clear. tried removing the CMOS battery for over half an hour which made no difference. Can't find a clear CMOS switch on the mobo. Photo's attached. Any help would be …

Good point there. I have two serial headers. Ordered one of eBay cheap to connect up. Project is coming together slowly. Next up is an ISA sound card. This could be fun..

Only me again. Apparently the card has built in Windows 3.1 drivers. Just need to set the jumpers to get it working in the board. I have a PDF manual to print out to help me!

Another update for you all. Thanks for all the advice! I decided to take a different approach and get a different floppy drive and cable and test again. I had to modify a newer floppy drive with a 1.5mm drill bit for the blanked hole but it worked first time. I booted off the 6.22 Boot disk and ran …

Cheers. I'll give that a try tomorrow. Just got another issue to sort out now. I pulled a floppy cable from a different old PC which the drive didn't like. Now no matter how I try and set-up now using the old cable that did work I get the dreaded 40 floppy error message. Powered the thing off for …

Also I'd like to add. I'm using a USB floppy drive on my Windows 8.1 machine as I don't have a machine with a floppy drive any more. I have been building computers for almost 15 years so I'm fine with newer hardware but my first own PC was a Pentium 120 in my School days so it's been a while since I …

Hi all, I'm still battling with this. I'll admit to downloading DOS 6.22 off the Internet. While I have access to a TechNet subscription with DOS 6 and the 6.22 upgrade it just gives me a folder full of files totalling 5.80Mb with no clear way of splitting it between discs which isn't helpful. My 1. …

Hi everyone, Firstly sorry about this.. Didn't want my first post to be like this. Basically I found a 486 PCI board complete with 16Mb RAM, 486 33Mhz CPU and a working PSU. Great I thought. Retro DOS games! I got a PCI graphics card off eBay as well as a DIN keyboard adaptor to use a PS2 keyboard …
