Did not know there was any use for that pause key. Now I know. Here is that
last screen I couldn't see:
Ultra66 (tm) BIOS Version 1.12 (Build 0518)
(c) 1998-1999 Promise Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
D0 IBM-DPTA-372730 LBA 26105MB Ultra DMA 4
D1 Not Detected
D2 Not Detected
D3 Not Detected
IDE BUS Master Enabled
That is the third screen, character-for-character, space-for-space. Now
maybe you can help me some more. Thanks.
