Recording BIOS settings?
Kenny
BIOS settings, perhaps as a text file, to avoid manually writing them all

a form feed to get the page out, but the text and settings should appear
fine.

Will it work with a USB printer? I've encountered some trouble in that
regard.

Maybe. It requires that you don't have a winprinter and it requires that you don't have a USB printer. The result is that for many people these days, you can *not* use PrintScrn.

and cannot print ASCII characters, that is, they are dependent on
Windows device drivers. Also, most BIOS' can't use "print screen" with
USB printers.
So this trick won't work with some newer printers.

excellent DOS program. And the $10 fee is if you intend distributing to
others, otherwise free AFAIK.

The solution to which is to get an old dot matrix somethingorother from a
second hand shop and a parallel port card and shove it onto that.

Ken...I hate it when I forget a smiley. It really does change the
context of a message, doesn't it? :-)
