    Stumbled across this site today. It's a keeper:

    Welcome to BIOS Central

    BIOS means Basic Input Output System. BIOS is actually firmware, the software that is programmed into a ROM (Read-Only Memory) chip built onto the motherboard of a computer. BIOS is what makes the system run an initial Power-On Self-Test of the computer, initialize circuits, load the boot program from the boot disk, and then handle low-level I/O to peripheral controllers such as keyboard and display.

    Yes...thanks :)

    Found the site last year when searching for some Phoenix BEEP codes. Liked it so much I added it to my Personal Web Page. It's a link that I keep handy.

    Another site that I have used is PC Hell. It's not as comprehensive as BIOS Central but still a good site.

    I get:

    Did we (the users of this BBS) drive them over their bandwidth limit or something?

    Maybe they didn't pay their bill... :)

    Seriously though, I wonder...only 37 views.
