Re: {OT} -- Computer Problem -- UPDATE, FIXED (I think)
I have a serious bios level issue it would seem. It slows down the bios
boot radically as well as the computer. I didn't know any better coming
from a P200 until I went to install a new hard drive and OS and it gave
me setup issues.
It could even be my monitor. Mine is a low radiation vintage 1994 NCR
monitor and I can't find drivers for it so am using a generic one.

Re: {OT} -- Computer Problem -- UPDATE, FIXED (I think)
I have a serious bios level issue it would seem. It slows down the bios
boot radically as well as the computer. I didn't know any better coming
from a P200 until I went to install a new hard drive and OS and it gave
me setup issues.
It could even be my monitor. Mine is a low radiation vintage 1994 NCR
monitor and I can't find drivers for it so am using a generic one.
