I hadn't done that, does thinking about it count? :) According to diff, no diff. Using this command line: diff bootsec-F09U.hex bootsec-10.hex So its deeper than that. Hey, a dvd block size is 2048.

I found 2 bios updates, depends on the motherboard in this one and I have NDI how to determine that quickly. So I grabbed them both and will burn one to a floppy and try them. And the bios in it is only 2.02D. Should be fun.. :) Later friend. >>>> Down with a cold, I haven't really felt like doing a whole lot. >>> >>> take 2 aspirin, 2 sudafed, and a pint of bourbon. may not help rid your >>> cold, but your nose will not be running and you really will not mind. >> >> I learned decades ago, that when I mix alcohol with a cold, its an instant >> strept throat & 2 weeks on Erythromycin 500's, 3x/day. > >strep is no pleasure. that being case, how about gin, vodka, or rum? <bwg> Its the alky that does it.

A typu as SWMBO would say, make the first 'Gene' into 'gene'. I fixed it above. :) And I have 5 pounds of boric acid powder on hand in case the termites come back, we've had the place professionally treated less than 10 years ago, for the third time. WV seems to have an endless supply of those critters. There is also a flashing barrier between the wooden garage walls base sills and the retaining wall I built that two of the walls are standing on. :) Level land in WV is very expensive, takes lots of caterpiller fuel to make it. In fact its been said that if WV was stomped out flat it would be bigger than Texas. >i just built a 12' x 16' yard barn with loft. wish i had shot progress pics, >but i did shoot a bunch after. not on any home page yet, but do plan to. Mine is the same size, visible in some of the pix under the Garage link, views from the top of the house all around. The one with the front deck. :) Not a lot of overhead, enough to store a few sticks. Some interior views of the mess in there are under the emc link on that page. > >code inspectors that came out for checks, told me it was well built and that >i did have a lot of 'over kill'. even said loft, with 2" x 10" x 12' on 12" >centers and double studs every 4', was strong enough to hold a car. problem >is i do not have a drive up ramp to check it out.
