        Have you tried <ctrl><alt><ins>? That's what the key combo
to get into the ROM-based setup of the Zenith Z-248's used to be.

        I would think a 386 based machine would be more easily
adaptable to the 3.5" drives than the old Z-248's were. I know
people that got them working, but ours never worked very well as the
BIOS didn't directly support them until we replaced the CPU board
with an aftermarket 386SX board.
