Hi Mikkel,
It's only an old cheap and nasty PcChips M748LMRT board, that I have lots of,
that came from an office clearance I was lucky enough to get involved in a
few months back..... I just thought it would be a nice idea to upgrade the
BIOS from the 1999 version that was installed, to a 2001 version, that will
hopefully see my CPU as a Celeron, as opposed to a PIII, and my HDD as it's
correct size of 123GB as opposed to 56GB (but Linux sizes it correctly, so
not a "must fix").
Last nights attempt will be my final though, as the remaining boards have all
been exposed to water, owing to a garage roof that has more holes than swiss
cheese!
Cheers,
James
