Hmmm, that reminds me: I have an EISA Compaq 486sx at a client site from which I had to remove an add-on internal modem; ran the diagnostic/configuration program, it says everything's fine, but when it boots it stops waiting for F1 saying the configuration's incorrect. Press F1 to continue & everything works, just a nuisance 'cause it can't restart after a power failure without someone there to press F1. Any ideas? Can give more details off-list if anyone can help. m ----------Original Message---------- Date: 1 Nov 2001 1:11:30 +0100 From: "Iggy Drougge" <optimus(a)canit.se> Subject: Re: VLB SCSI? ...What I dislike about either system is that it's so awfully software-based.
