- On mine, ISC 2.2.1, you *must* remove the Logitech Bus mouse card, or
- it won't go either... just reboots after trying to initialize the
- equipment... not a motherboard problem..

- Try with bare-bones stuff: Disk Controller, Monochrome Card (although
- My VGA provides no problems) and keyboard.... no accessories.
