Hi Jason:
Thanks for your response. I shall prinout the fn key list you provided for
handy reference. I bet there are others on the mail list who, like me,
don't have complete documentation and appreciate the info.
Perhaps you or others can enlighten me on another subject. At:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/support/tps/sys701.html
I downloaded <sys7013O.exe> to update the flash bios. I copied that file to
a diskette (after changing the config utility on page 2 from "hard disk" to
"smart" or "conventional" per the instructions). I can hear the TP try to
go to the a:drive. But it doesn't get far before reporting "Invalid system
disk. Replace the disk, and then press any key."
Any clues here?
Thanks in advance for any light any of you can shed on this.
Peter
