Yeah to everything, simtel sites should have several little programs that allows configuring MOST machines that did not have access to CMOS settings. Oh, The late type 2 AT and XT 286 motherboards have late bios that supports 1.44 floppy drive. The offical ibm diagnostic disk do not have this option within the s/w. Again, the whole line of early (pre ps/2) 286 machines had 3 types of bios as well, first one was 17 (I think) hd specs enteries so on until total of 46 types. Compaq pre to late 386/486 models requires special disk to access cmos. After this point, on those machines, on screen shows upper left, blinking underlined cursor moves over to a blinking block cursor at upper right for a moment then back to original. Between that at that point hit F10 key to get into cmos setup and some is user-defineable as well. Late PS/2 equipped with IML feature and later ones to enter setup screen, hit alt+ctrl+ins. Early PS/1's Must have those setup files at least 2 files for 2 different functions on a bootable disk and manually start it. (weirdo, kluge thing.) Jason D. email: jpero(a)cgo.wave.ca Pero, Jason D.
