What he wants to know is - Is it worth trying to see if the latest version (1.1-GAMMA?) will boot? For what its worth the motherboard of his system says (on booting) "US491 80486/33/50 board, IVN 1.2 Nov 19 1993" and I believe that its using an AMI bios from 1992. Thanks for any help. -- Nigel Johnston
