And is this non-standard interface out there in the wild or only at Intel's labs? Are there boxes like that out there? If I go to the store and buy a box, how do I know whether that box would need "nocfg"? Do I look in the BIOS or how do I find out I need to supply "nocfg"? > If by BIOS or by other means the serial port is configured How do I find out that the serial port is configured? And don't give me that "example" about the typing on keyboard or on touch screen again. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
