Before I posted my first message, I flashed the last Boot Agent onto the NIC, and after seeing your message, I hunted down and flashed the last BIOS for the motherboard which was from mid 97. Unfortunately, it is still crashing with exactly the same halted message. For those that might be interested in the hardware, the system is a Pentium 166, on a Biostar 8500TUC MB with 32 MB of RAM. That particular MB uses the Intel 430HX chipset. Only expansion cards in the system are a Matrox Millenium video card, and the Intel PRO/100 S NIC. There are no hard drives or floppy drives in the system. This machine used to be my server until I replaced it a few months ago with a new machine. -- Jason K.
