When the bootstrap sequence probes the bus for devices, it never comes back. I eliminated all devices except for the keyboard just to see if I could get beyond this problem, but It did not. I have a 486DX2 66 MHz VESA Green motherboard with: Sony CD-ROM Trident VESA IDE Card AMIBIOS (1993) - American Megatrends L90 Graphics Accelator Card This has: 32 bit VL-local bus (IDE) Conner Tape Drive Maxtor 540 Drive WD 1Gig Drive If you have any suggestions (except for buying a normal machine), I would be appreciative. Thanks, Jason Bernard jasonb@gcm.com
