EISA - was VLB SCSI?

Thanks for the tip; will give it a try now that you've reassured me. I don't think it's the battery since the config is stable, i.e. the power can be off for a weekend and everything's still fine when it's powered up again, just that annoying F1 request, and the problem started when I removed that modem and had to change IRQ's. I was reluctant to pull the battery & reset the config in case that really messed things up; at least now it's bootable. But sounds like it can't hurt to replace the battery, so might as well while I'm at it. mike -----------Original Message---------- Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2001 02:45:53 -0500 From: Chad Fernandez <fernande(a)internet1.net> Subject: Re: EISA - was VLB SCSI? re-read what he said..... he isn't loosing the configuration, it justs wants attention. I have had this happen before too. I just change things until it stops :-) I think something gets crossed up when changing things around too much, and it asks for F1 to be pressed. You can start over from scratch by pulling the battery..... I have had to do that once or twice when I really screwed things up, to the point that it hung while the bios was loading :-) Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA
