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.
