That's the really odd thing, I am yet to find a way to access the BIOS settings on this beast. I've tried the usual DEL, F2 and F1 with no success and there is no prompt I've ever seen to offer access to one. I do have a ZIP file that contains the last BIOS upgrade for it that was released so I'll see if I can make that bootable and see if that reveals any options. > > Hope life is still good in Abertawe! >=20 > This part of the world has changed rather a lot.
