Yes, but the UPS, if it runs down, shuts down for good and needs a hand re- start, and about 2 minutes of charging before it will pick up the load. I don't recall seeing the autostart option in that old Mach Speed's bios either, but I haven't looked at it since turning off the on-board video hardware, which is poison to the RTAI equipt kernel required. Its running a stepper motor driven milling machine with a heartbeat in the 50 kilohertz area. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
