The only machines I know of that will boot from B: are some/most of the newer Zenith machines. You can go into the ROM-based setup routine (CTRL-ALT-INS) and set up the boot device and sequence. You can boot from A: only (will not try to boot from the hard disk), A: then C: (no disk in A:, same boot sequence as most PCs), or you can boot from B:. I don't know if any other BIOS offers these options. Bruce Carlson carlson@gateway.mitre.org
