Thomas, You asked: >>How do I find the FCC ID, and do I have to take everything apart?<< You should be able to see the FCC ID number on the motherboard when you open the case. However, with a mini-tower, it may be partially obscured by some drive bays/power supply. All electronic devices, including your telephone and mouse have FCC ID numbers to indicate that they have been tested for interference. For example, my trackball has the FCC ID of: FUU4TGMAP1. Usually, the number will be preceeded by "FCC" or "FCC ID." The first three letters are unique for the manufacturer and the rest identify the product. The FCC web site is: www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/ >>Motherboard booklet said nothing about upgrading the BIOS.<< Not unusual. My Gateway books don't say anything about my BIOS being a flash BIOS either and I didn't find out that it could be upgraded without physically replacing the BIOS until I contacted Gateway. While Phoenix does not directly provide upgrades to their BIOS, they *do* have an authorized company, Micro Firmware, that will provide flash BIOS upgrades. (Not only to Phoenix, but also to other BIOSes.) Micro Firmware has/had a money back guarantee if you weren't satisfied with their upgrade. The upgrade would save the old BIOS info and reinstall it if you did not want to keep the new BIOS upgrade installed. >>Does Promise's ISA DriveMax permit DOS to see up to 128 GB Ultra EIDE hard drive?<< I assume that it does. As I understand the boot process, DOS loads the BIOS from non-volatile ROM into a designated area of high memory. Then, it starts looking for BIOSes on all of the boards installed and loads their BIOSes into high memory. I will let you know about Promise's DriveMax as I bought one and will install it in one of my computers as soon as I make adjustments in or replace my monitor and backup the computer. The manual indicates a jumper has to be set to designate the address where the BIOS from the board has to be installed. Hope this helps. Roger Turk Tucson, Arizona USA
