So I didn't give up and finally the ctl>alt>enter worked, got into the bios 
and looked around then,  Just to see if the cdrom would work since it only 
had one IDE channel, I stuck in a windows 98 boot disk and did a fdisk and 
then booted to install windows 98.  Lo and behold the durn thing installed 98 
on a 400MB hard drive with 16MB ram and an old 486  66mhz processor. Took two 
hours.  I didn't think that was supposed to work.  It is slow but leads me to 
believe that I can install a small linux OS on it now.  Well, maybe I will 
just leave it to be used by the grandkids. Thanks again for all the help, I 
don't like throwing things out if they can still function or have a purpose.
