Hi
I've recently picked up a rather interesting little XT clone from 1991, which to my knowlege was made by a division of Tandy. It appears to be basically NOS, in its original box and with the polythene still on the keyboard.
Intertan DT-88 restoration (Late Tandy subsidiary 8088 clone)
Following this topic, I have managed to get it booting into DOS using an XT-IDE card and have managed to get into the built in CMOS setup program using DOS debug. The issue I am having is that I can set the floppy drive types in the CMOS, but when I save and reboot, they will not persist, causing a floppy error on boot and the drive not to work. Any other setting I change saves just fine, its only the floppy types.
I should say, I have desoldered the dead Dallas RTC chip and replaced it with one of Necrowares handy little replacments.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue?
Cheers
Andrew
