Does it remember any configuration setting? I.e. if you change some random
BIOS setting, turn it off, turn it on and go back to the BIOS and see if
that is still set. If no memory and not a battery problem then there is
some bad connection from the battery to the motherboard, or maybe you left
the reset jumper on the motherboard in the wrong position.

Bill,

  With the new battery installed I set time and date, specified the boot
device and tried booting. That failed. When I restarted the system and
entered the BIOS settings they were as set.

  The reset jumper was not installed. I have not used a CMOS reset jumper on
any system I've built. Haven't understood why I would want to.

  Seems likely that the motherboard has a flaw somewhere.

Thanks very much for your ideas,

Rich
