I guess I should change the error message so people don't think its as much of a problem. Most motherboard controllers do not have a Serial EEPROM, so you have to rely on the work that the BIOS did. It should work fine. As to speed, a faster processor won't fix a slow disk. >--- >John Soward JpS >Systems Programmer 'The Midnight sun will burn you up.' >University of Kentucky (NeXT and MIME mail OK) -R.
