Re: Cannot Access BIOS on GX-110 PC

i never heard of that feature... it isn't listed in the documentation
either. if you don't see the "press <f2? key to enter setup message"
shortly after powering on the system then you may just have what i would
call a slow monitor (one that dosen't display the initial image until
several seconds of receiving the first singal). if that is the case then
just power on and start striking f2 repeatedly... and if that dosen't do it
then i am at a loss as what to suggest.
