subject: Searching for setup disk

G'day Craig

 CP> Hello out there in computer land. I hope somebody can help me. I'm

 When you turn the machine of, it should say "Hit  for setup"

 Do this and it will bring up the CMOS settings....change what you want in
 there, but you may have to change a few of the cables around inside the
machine so it will boot to the 1.44 instead of the 1.2.  I have done this
before and it isn't too hard.

Good luck.
