It's a PII/300 with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI and an >STB Riva graphics card. I've now tried a third machine, one whose disk I can overwrite. This is a PII/400 (MSI 6119 board) with two IDE drives, an IDE CD, a Kingston (Realtek) NIC and ATI graphics. I can get as far as FDISK but when I hit A to use the entire disk, nothing happens. It doesn't respond to the keyboard at all. Numlock still toggles the light so *something* is there, but not a lot.
