A site I am currently supporting has a set of 496 machines  which 
seem  to  be  built by IBM but  are  called  "COLOSSUS".  They're 
desktops, and have either DX2-50 INTEL CPUs or DX2-66 AMDs.

I need to track down the setup disks. Can anyone suggest where  I 
might find them (looked at IBM site).

   If it helps I was using a 'Colossus' branded IBM m/c (slower than
   above) this afternoon.  When booting hitting Ctl+Alt+S at exactly the
   right moment got into the BIOS.
