Try downloading the little utility file we have on the web site just
for this purpose, it is called:  "ct bios"   36k
You will find it in the file download area:
http://nospin.com/pc/files001.html

Remember that the file download area has been split now into
seven pages...  but, I have given you the page to go to get
the file.

This file runs in Dos and should give your motherboard manufacturer
and serial number on the board.
