I always thought Post took place during system boot and that going into BIOS
Setup happened prior to DOS/Windows taking control of the system.  If this
is the case,  Windows Ctrl-Print Screen or Alt-Print Screen isn't possible.
The DOS Print Screen has never worked for me either.  Does someone know of a
good BIOS/CMOS capture utility?  My current systems use Award Bios.

Thanks,
