> What is your BIOS revision number and how much memory do you have?
Well, I am afraid it is not possible bacause it is IBM ThinkPad ...
During the boot process it shows IBM/ThinkPad logo and a memory
amount, it is 56M by the way. If floppy drive is not connected then it
prints some numbers but I do not know how to interpret them, I guess
it is an error message.
BIOS could be activated by pressing 1 during boot process (it took me
a while to get it). It has options to test for all devices present
but nothing else. I run all tests available and it went fine. It is
funny, I would say the BIOS is completely useless to anybody
nonetheless it has mouse cursors animated!
It looks like during the boot I got 32M memory reported:
8203 pages 33012K bytes
Could it be a problem?
Think I shall give up with that PC. It takes so much time of yours
guys and mine, It does not worth it really.
Thank you for your help anyway!
