The Compaq department which highlander imagines can't have been very busy. ;) The first $20 Compaq (Deskpro with a 286) I bought didn't have a BIOS setup in ROM. I had to use DEBUG to set the BIOS to recognise the hard disk. I then wrote a programme to set other options. Eventually I downloaded a copy of the setup programme. I think all my other desktop Compaqs have used F10 to access the setup on disk (though I've had to install the ROMPaqs a few times).	Graham L (2)
