Would love to oblige, but................

1) Running a Compaq 1120T (laptop) which doesn't give any info onscreen
other than the ramcount.

2) Bought this monster used with no manuals. Have found pages dedicated
to, or mentioning, this thing and tried mailing the owners of the pages.
So far, 31 bounced mails. Have asked on newsgroups ad nauseum for info
on how I might access the BIOS. So far, 1,301,321,472 versions of the
same keys/key-combos to try and still no access.

So unless some one can provide a clue that I haven't already heard or
tried, I can't even get into the BIOS to change anything much less see
what it is.
