RE: Hamm 2.0 beta installation problem
I have a pentium 120 with 64M. I bought it at the end of 1995.
I'm not sure what BIOS it has (I'm not at home so I can't
check it until Monday but i think it is made by Phoenix
or something similar)
Other hardware:
Matrox Millenium
Adaptec 2940UW SCSI
2 IDE harddisks
1 UW SCSI disk
1 IDE CDROM
1 SCSI CDROM
