Thanks a lot.
I'm just being lazy. The HP firmware updater requires a brand new IBM
formatted disk that hasn't been formatted by a computer, and I don't have
one. I tried another nic I had lying around, but that didn't work either,
the system wouldn't see it. I'm going to try a boot floppy that I'm
building right now. And then do the firmware thing when I can get my hands
on a virginal disk.
This list rocks.
Thanks.
