It was late for me when I posted this last night and I
inadvertently posted the wrong information about the
motherboard, believe it or not...  *grin*

The motherboard is:
  Micro-Star       MS-6119
The bios is:
  Award     v2.01     (the latest version)

The primary master is:    Seagate 3.2gig HD
The primary slave is:      Maxtor   6.8gig HD
The secondary master:  Iomega atapi zip 100 drive
The secondary slave:     BTC 36x CD rom drive

Thanks  -   Bob Wright
