[comp.sys.ibm.pc] How to get SETUP in Award AT BIOS?

cjoslyn@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu (Cliff Joslyn) (03/02/90)

I recently purchased an Award BIOS from someone on the net, and neeldess
to say there weren't any instructions.  What's the key combination to
get into the SETUP program?  I thought it was supposed to be
CTL-ALT-ESC, but that doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Thanks in advance. . .

My AWARD Bios setup is called by pressing CTRL-ALT-ESC -=** AT **=- startup! 
I cannot change the setup until I reboot.  Try it when you see it doing all
the memory test.  That should handle it.
