I'm using the PA2013 as well. Recently, I upgraded my BIOS to the latest
one...and guess what? Both NT and Win98 died. Refused to boot. I got NT
installed again but refused to go any higher than 16 colours (not 16 bit!) VGA.
(I'm using a creative RivaTNT card which might be the problem, actually) BUT!
Linux installed and boots with absolutely no complaints. XFree86's TNT server
works like a charm - at 1280x1024 in 16bit. No problems. So yes...it's
definitely the OS. MS produces only crapware. I mean come on! Linux can do it,
the XFree86 can do it...how come paid Microserfs can't, hmm?
Alright...you got me started...end of R&R (rant & rave) :)
