Hi, Roy.  Slowly gaining ground on responding, and up to 9/11/03 now.

 RJT> Then I finally hooked up with my brother,  who'd upgraded his system.
 RJT> I got his old MB,  a Celeron 366.  Now all I need is a 256M ram stick
 RJT> and an AGP card to bring that up.  And figure out what HD of what I
 RJT> have here is going in there.  And what monitor I'm going to use with
 RJT> it.  And where the heck I'm gonna *PUT* it in this mess...   :-)

See other msg.  I recommend you "think KVM switch"  I think I recently
saw a 4-box  "automatic" one  with full cable set for $45 or so.

 JH> Do you have manual for that board yet?
 RJT> No,  I don't.  That's why I was asking Matt about where he dug up
 RJT>the RJT> info for me that time,  I guess maybe I oughta research it
 RJT>a bit...

My advice -  run "CTBIOS.EXE" on it and see what all it ID's.  Usually
the mainboard mfgr, and often an URL to their website.



 RJT> Let me look at that MB...    Looks like it says "Intel Type AL440LX on
 RJT> the sticker.  Know where I'd look for something like that?

I'd start with CTBIOS.  I've seen a later response to you, but I'd say
don't just go by that.  Run CTBIOS.  Most genuine Intel boards I've seen
are not that clearly labeled.  Not sure of the newest, but PII FX Intel
board I have here has some white strips on the board -  maybe labels,
maybe stencilled, and there is a long "AA" number on there, which used
to be the key to finding info on the board at the Intel website.

Good luck.
