That was the winner, thanks. I should have specifed that it was a Pheonix
bios machine.
I normally write the setup keys in permanent marker on top of the power supply
case for future reference. Normally Phoenix BIOS systems like Puke-ard Bell
uses CTL-ALT-S.
FYI it's a great Minix machine! For those that
are interested there is
a site on the net (http://minix1.hampshire.edu). Bins and sources are
available on the net. It can be run on anything from an XT to P6.
There is also a book Operating Systems design and Implmentation 2nd
Edition with CDrom of sources and bins.
I have a ton of them if anyone wants one or more. I'm sure I can let them go
cheap since I got them cheap. They usually come with a 3.5" floppy and the
5.25" slot has a knockout. They use 30 pin SIMMs. All you do is throw in the
extra parts (SIMMs, HDD, KB, mouse and monitor) and go. The CMOS usually
recognizes and sets the IDE drive type itself but you can manually do it too.
The units I have here are Dell 325SX units which are 386SX -25 machines in a
low profile case and built in ports.
