Hi Andre,

Well I'm glad to see that you finally found it!

Just wonder though why I received as e-mail delivery your next message
referring to this one, but had to come here to the Group-page to see
this preceding posting of yours!

P.S. Regarding menus that are scrollable - usually there's only one
page that needs that, maybe two, of the BIOS settings - looking in the
BIOS setup of an IBM Desktop belonging to my son, I didn't twig to the
fact that IBM used varying shades of blue and gray on the screen to
indicate that there WAS a menu item available when certain words were
highlighted - no little arrows at the side - nothing in a separate
help area etc., to give an inkling of that further function - one of
those was the enablement of the primary/secondary/none IDE-controllers!

Regards,
Mike
