It couldn't possibly be 1MHz, could it now? ;^) I inherited the i486 computer w/o any docs, so I have no idea how fast it is. The timing frequency doesn't appear at boot-up. I borrowed a copy of Norton Diagnostics for DOS and ran it from a floppy -- it reported 102MHz. Any suggestions? -- Arcady Genkin "... without money one gets nothing in this world, not even a certificate of eternal blessedness in the other world..." (S.
