I've found MSD.EXE to be highly flawed and only can be replied on to report how the configured system is configured if it's configured correctly in the first place. However as my system _is_ correctly configured MSD reports just fine. I have HS UART's in the Pentium and confusion on that point was in my lack of clarity of my intent to revive an old 486 board by salvaging a UART off of another dead board. Now I'm looking for a DOS memory utility that might tell me if my EDO RAM is parity or non-parity and 60 or 70 NS prior to buying 64 Meg. of EDO on Ebay. Oh yeah the CMOS now holds, it was corrosion under the top positive battery contact. Soon as I install 64 Meg RAM this system will hold three operating systems. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5* Origin: FidoTel & QWK on the Web! www.fidotel.com (1:275/311) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 275/311 10/345 379/1 633/267 |
