And serial setup is a bit pesky. I'll try changing the font size when I get access to the machine again (this weekend). As far as I know the machine is not a high-mem machine. It is only equipped with 1 GB memory. I have no intention of changing the SCSI-controller in that machine so I'll be glad to test any patches. Be warned that I don't have the machine close by though so it might take a day or two before I can test anything you send. Rgds Pierre
