I have found that the BIOS ID "magic number" 99.9% of the time _does_ identify the MB uniquely enough to find exact jumper positions and meanings. Provided it turns out to be a manufacturer that still exists and has a web presense, you can usually find the manual online. Good starting points are; http://www.wimsbios.com/ http://www.sysopt.com/mboard.html If someones desperate, I could probably do the search for them provided they give me the BIOS ID. I'd only charge $50/board, no find, no fee :-) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
