Hm, I would say, it's not a stupid - it's an interesting question:-) The
system in question is a Compaq XL-5133 (if I remember correctly), which
has no BIOS configuration utility in the normal sense:-) Well, it has one,
but to run it you have to boot from 4 diskets, and, as far as I remember,
there's no PnP in this utility. Which, I thought - was good, since then
the BIOS can't mangle the PnP-config, or is this wrong?
