Has anyone had success using the DS1287 chip?

1) I removed the chip and fitted a 24 pin IC socket.
2) I got a DS1287 chip through ebay fitted it to the socket and booted up the machine.
3) The system booted up and I set the cmos as per instructions from the tech info.
4) When re booted the settings were lost.

I assumed the new chip is not ...

I have a CPU7 and my Cmos battery has died, when I looked to change it I found it is a chip rather than the standard coin battery.

The motherboard looks to be the Acrosser ARB-1564.

Is there a procedure for this problem?

Setting the "Typematic rate delay" to slow has improved the situation but I still have the problem.

Could it be the keyboard membrane and if so, what would be the cost of a new one ?

Thanks Bill.

Liviu,
they are Tryax machines and the serial numbers are:-

M400 - 6570

T400- 2055

Scott,

The BIOS setting for "Typematic rate delay" was set fast so I have changed it to slow.

I will see what difference that makes next week and post back.

Thanks Bill.

I have two CNC7 controls, one lathe and one mill.
Both keypads suffer from an annoying "key bounce", can this be adjusted?

Thanks

Did you have any luck finding the type/part number as I need a spare plug for my setup?
