I have been using one of the isa versions for about 2 years now. It is a very good device for setting the bios settings, and even using dos/linux or any other text based operating system. although, I wouldn't want to use it for that purpose for any length of time when there are better ways of doing so. your bios must be a text bios not one of the win bioses such as the ones that ami uses. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. phil On Fri, Mar 15, 2002 at 07:33:20PM -0600, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > wondered if anybody had any experience with or knowledge of this product.
