Oops, the Grid 15xx laptops recognize 6 Conner HDs.
The CP3022CP3024CP3044CP3042CP344CP3104 . But
as I said there is a file on how to modify the Bios for
some others on the Yahoo site. Also to boot from floppy
press "f" immediately after the beep. The setup file
should work even if the internal battery or (in most 15xx
models) Dallas RTC is dead, IIRC. To erase a password
on the Dallas model is another problem however.
