as well as a Promise controller for my 100GB HD. Have a DVD & CD-burner,
too. Original Voodoo3 (I have a Geforce 3 to go in but don't want to add to
the stew). Board is Intel (440BX), BIOS is Phoenix 4.0-6. I'm flashed to
the last BIOS available from Dell, A11.

this code & worry about my data either being corrupted at some point or the
whole deal possibly going down- what is this code???
