2000-01-14 Thread AU,SCOTT CHUONG
After installing slink on my old 386, I salvaged a Pentium box from work that was to be sent to the trash. I have very little experience with Pentium motherboards since I've only owned a 486 and 386. The problem is the motherboard (and ASUS motherboard)was stripped of everything except a 1.44 flo
