stupid computer tricks

[rmd]

sigh. i finally got around to swapping out the cmos battery on the home media server i've been trying to fix. i did a full re-install of the OS and formatted the drives etc. and it went without a problem.

until i rebooted, at which point it hangs after the PCI device listing.

perhaps i'll pick up a motherboard later this week and swap that in and see what happens. *sigh*

Sounds like it's doomed. Odd, I've never had a pdp11 do this sort of thing to me.

And they do run Unix :-)
