I think there were problems with some of the older BIOS, but it seems like I
remeber those being 1003 or 1003...

It is too bad. You'd think that the BIOS or MB mfgrs could come up with one.
I don't know much about it, but it's probably something that's specific to
each MB and/or BIOS, so a generic linux utility to do so wouldn't be very
feasible.
Well, I guess if I decide to do it, I'll just have to borrow a DOS disk.
Thanks for the reply!
