Any help would be appreciated. >(System Setup: 486 (AMI BIOS), DOS 5.0, Borland C++ 3.0) *What* "BIOS serial #"? There's no such thing on a"standard" ISA bus machine. I think microchannel machines have such a thing and have no idea if EISa machines do. In short, it ain't standard, so only the board maker or BIOS vendor can tell you. And it likely won't work on anything else. -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.scn.rain.com CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com FIDO: 1:105/56 Leonard.Erickson@f56.n105.z1.fidonet.org (The CIS address is checked daily.
