That's great, "Poindexter FORTRAN" -- btw, aliased are frowned upon in this 
echo. Please reconfigure your reader to use your real name when posting in 
UNIX.
However... I don't own a disk drive of the 100MB-120MB size, therefore, I 
kinda doubt I'll have the joy of installing it on a 100MB drive, even if it 
will.
My last check with the availability of disk drives tells me that it's almost 
impossible to buy any IDE drive less than 1GB.
Since my CMOS won't support user definiable drives, I'm forced to install a 
SCSI controller and SCSI drive, if I desire to use this particular 386DX/20 
motherboard.
And I do believe -that- was my original point. :)
