The website is lagging. I dropped prices and am busy doing a subscription
run. I hope to get the new stuff posted tonight. Email is best until then.

My experience with different test machines varied. If I were buying a
motherboard or SCSI card today, I would make sure the BIOS really works
with bootable CD's. Several with award BIOS booted it from IDE CD drives

although I was able to do a 0floppy install using dos/loadlin without
problems.
