Subject: [PCBUILD] Possible Bad BIOS Load


I recycle older computers computer to lower income people at little or no
cost. I recently inherited an older CTX machine, which the BIOS seems to
damaged or the load had been botched by the previous owner.

It has the following symptoms:
   During boot, BIOS checksum error appears.
   Does not allow access to CMOS settings.
   System does not boot off bootable floppy but continually as for one

Is there any way to fix the BIOS or should I just chalk this one for parts?
