by mentioning dip switches u just reminded me about my 12 year old classic "Star LC10 colour" lol... i set the dip switches as u said and it worked cool...

...now i have all the info i need to do the BIOS Flash... i now just need to find the courage to go ahead with it!

I might as well change the CMOS battery too while i'm at it! I'll let u know if i go for it!!!

Many thx & Regards
