Is this the case in the US of A as well or was my friendly computer salesman just jerking me around?? BTW he also told me my IBM PC II would need the BIOS upgrade, instaed I just installed a WD MFM controller and Seagate ST225 and it worked no problems... It boots and everything. ================================================================================ Ross Bannerman | uunet!mitel!infotech Mitel Corp. +--------------------------------------------------- KANATA, Ont.
