Gateway 2000 Bios

Teriel9 · 03-07-2008, 11:29 AM

I have found in my loft a Gateway 2000 computer with w95 installed, got it working ok but every time I start up I have to enter the current date and time.
Does this use a Battery as power for cmos or is it a capacitor.
How to access this please
Thanks in advance

I found that it requires a CR2032 Lithium Battery which I will obtain and hope it cures the cmos problem.
Thanks anyway
