Thanks for the replies.  The BIOS is AMIBIOS v1.06.  I see from the
web site that there is a v1.16b available currently.  If I can't get
it to work any other way, I'll try that.

(By the way, Netscape Navigator 4.5 instantly dumps core on a bus
error when I try to go to http://www.tyan.com/ *sigh*.)

That sounds promising.  But first, how will I be able to disable quick
boot again if I don't like it?  The manual says that when quick boot
is enabled, "You cannot run AMIBIOS Setup at system boot, because
there is no delay for the ``Hit <Del> to run Setup'' message."  Will
I need to use the MB jumper to clear the CMOS memory if I want to go
back?
