David:
There are some other key combinations that you may not have tried:
Ctrl-Alt-?
Ctrl-Alt-+ (+ on the number pad)
Ctrl-Alt-Insert
Ctrl-Alt-Escape
Ctrl-Alt-Enter
Ctrl-Alt-s
Ctrll-Shift-Escape
Ctrl-Escape
F1
F10
(and there are probably more.)

Another approach that _sometimes_ works is to power down, disconnect the
keyboard, and power up; the BIOS entry key combination _may_ be revealed in
the error message.

My guess is that Leading Technologies was a system builder who used
motherboards from various manufacturers. There is some good information on
identifying motherboards at:

Click on the "mobo tools" widget in the top bar.
