I dont know if it will work on all motherboards, but the code looked really stupid because it allowed people to type 'c' at the DDB prompt after an NMI and when the NMI was a memory parity error, you dont want to do that. This happened to us on a machine and I thought that was quite stupid. Its a harmless change I believe. -- Paul Saab Technical Yahoo paul@mu.org - ps@yahoo-inc.com - ps@freebsd.org Do You .. uhh ..
