   Hmm, You know, I never set anything in my BIOS.   Ever.  I was on an   
   old 'screwdriver shop' machine with Win 98SE and had a chance to grab   
   this machine so I did.  I put my development on it and use the old   
   machine as a network archive and print server.  And as 'second' when I   
   run software that requires multiple machines.   
      
   The only thing I've really done to this machine that wouldn't be considered   
   'standard' is I had to go in and muck with the registry because I couldn't   
   get a pod to work on the LPT port.  I've since converted to USB pods   
   for my development for all but one of the projects, so I still need the hack   
   in the registry, but other than that...  (The hack is to make XP stay away   
   from the LPT port so the pod won't get interfered with.  The pod is a   
   P&E MON08-Multilink   I was also running a BDM Multilink for the   
   HC12, but got a USB version for a fraction of the price, and I can take   
   that with me and plug into my laptop with no hacks when I'm on the   
   road!  I link both the setups, but I have to say that in the future I will   
   only design using parts that I can use the USB BDM Multilink pod. )
