        Believe it or not, this BIOS may be the problem. A friend with the
same 701 setup as you and I have had nothing but praise for his system until
he put in this BIOS revision. I'm still on "n" and have no intention of
changing to anything else, based on his experience. Everything worked
perfectly until he fiddled with the BIOS upgrade to "o".
