ha, just 2 days ago my nephew got an old ibm - and i had to solve a similar riddle. the results of my research: some ibm´s _need_ a diskette, which may (or not) be obtained from the ibm ftp-server. some ibm´s require ctrl-alt-ins simultaneously at the right moment after power-on. in the case of my nephew´s ibm i discovered, that i had to push the f1-key at the right moment. perhaps some of this will work for your ibm. hafi
