Have not had a moment to try. Very hectic here at the moment. I hope to be
able to try on Sunday. Sorry for the delay but I have to get some projects
completed and I need the pooter running. Can't take the time today or tomorrow
to change the BIOS setting and install the video card, and then try sax2.

I will report to the list as soon as I am able to run the test.

Thanks!! Gil
