Yup, and everytime you loaded another piece of hardware, it was a soft reboot to register it for system use. My fully loaded a2k, with a pp&s 68040 card, with 64 megs of ram on it, 2 megs of chip, and all slots full, took over a minute for a warm reboot, nearly 1.5 for a cold one. >-- >MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com >DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
