donj Mine is the 5133. At least from looking at all the models, I think that model has the P133 chip as mine does.

And DonJ, all the literature you posted seems to be for the mmx models which postdate my machine. They are somewhat helpful, but they really apply to newer machines.

For help in ID'ing your model, read up here on "How Do I Find My Model Number?"

Win98 Software & Drivers for the 5133 here:

Notice the link under Firmware for F10 Setup & Diags.

OK DonJ, I loaded the f10 setup firmware. Howerver it doesn't see the disk. The diagnostics stop with the HDD and it won't let me load the diagnostics partition. My thought is to reformat in fat16. I think it was made for that and not fat32. Could that be the problem? I hope not to have to reformat, but it looks to me that that is what I need to do?

Ok, I did it. I put another 2,5 gb HDD in the machine and loaded dos then win 95 and the setup program now works. Problem now is that the ethernet card doesn't seem to ave windows 95 drivers. I may post more on that later if I can't find them. In any case what serves as a bios set up now works Thanks everyone!
