Anyone have a spare IBM PC/AT motherboard they would like
to donate or sell ? I'm looking for the smaller , later type MB.

I have an AT with a flakey MB, gives a 152 error when running
the setup which indicates a problem with the CMOS chip.
It appears that battery acid may have caused some damage
to the chip U117-MC146818, or to the lands around the chip.
I might try checking the lands with an ohmmeter and/or replacing
the CMOS chip. Anyone have any experience with the 152 error ?

Thanks.
