I was just working on a 1994 Gatway 2000 P4D-66. This is a 486-66
machine and the BIOS key is F2. It is running Window 95 and as soon as I
start the computer I begin pressing F2.

>>I have a 1993 Gateway 486 DX/66 running Win 3.11.  It works just fine, but I want to update it.  I cannot get into the BIOS using the usual suspects like "delete", F1, etc.  A call to Gateway's techies turned up nothing. Most of them are too young to remember this machine, which was top of the line in 1993.  Does anyone actually know how to get into the BIOS on this puppy
