Thanks. So we know that all three of the big guys have recovery, but some mfrs turn it off for their BIOS versions, for some reason. Also, until reading that topic, I didn't know that USB based floppy- drives would work, but they apparently do at least for PhoenixBIOS. I still have a "real" floppy connector and drive on my machine. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
