Help with a XT/286

[alexkerhead]

my digicam was stolen, but I have an old image of the board itself.
Have you never seen a xt case with the distance for the top part of the board wide open?
Or, you may be right, I might have confused a really old at case for an xt case, if so, I apologize.
I do recall however some magnatron systems having the tall xt configuration.
It fits like a at, but has an extra 5 or 6 inches above the kb connector.
I still need a xt keyboard to use it, it acts wierd with an at kb.
Also, you'll see my signiture mentioned ibm model 25, one of my favs.
She is a beauty isn't she?

Where is the cmos battery on an IBM PS2 25xt. Icouldn't find it but it may help my situation.

I couldn't find one on my model 25's board, not even a real time clock chip.
Perhaps it doesn't have one onboard?
It does have a four pin connector for a external cmos battery.

It's a PC/XT-compatible, which doesn't store setup info in CMOS RAM, so no need for a battery, unless for an RTC. It isn't MCA, so no need of a Reference Disk to configure it. Tha Starter Diskette is just diags & some other utils.
