- I don't suppose you know the revision number of the roms on that 2620 do
- you? Since your getting that message, it tells me they aren't new enough.
- The monitor isn't in the latest set, and the latest set is a requirement to
- run dos>1.3 I think. That screen your looking at takes a boot holding both
- mice buttons, then a rshift+m to get to under the older dos's.
-
- Now, I hope this message gets back to you, last time I tried to EMail a
- fidonet address, my ISP upchucked it as a bad address.
