Re: busted BIOS part 2..

yes the kbd leds flash when powered up and they work in 2 other systems.been
there done that.No fuse o the mobo, just a 0 ohm jumper,heck at least on the
first tandy machines they had the 1Amp fuse in an onboard socket.
The PC 'hangs' at the 'cmos checksum error routine....awaiting either f1 or
del key to be pressed. After that is when the BIOS will check for the
floppy, so it sits in 'lala' land.
if you want to see this happen, just pull your battery or clear CMOS and
watch what happens....
