Once you've done that, though, you can set up the BIOS output and all interaction to happen via the serial port. I'm using an ancient Win95 IBM Thinkpad and terminal emulator as a system console. You might want to check that the system you're buying can support this, unless you're willing to simply lug a monitor in and hook it up when you need to change BIOS settings. -- Stephen Walton <stephen.walton@xxxxxxxx> Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge
