Posted April 12, 200519 yr Hi guys, I just bought an old IBM PC300GL so I could play around with it. However, I'm having trouble getting into the BIOS to change the settings. I've tried all the F keys, the delete key, and the esc key, but nothing works. There's no OS installed so it doesn't exactly help if I can't get into the BIOS to allow for a CD-ROM boot. So, please help! Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks! Have you ever realised that anyone driving faster than you is an idiot and anyone driving slower than you is a loser?

April 12, 200519 yr Author Oh the CMOS battrey seems to be just fine. How would i go abouts getting into the BIOS though? Thank you! Have you ever realised that anyone driving faster than you is an idiot and anyone driving slower than you is a loser?
April 12, 200519 yr FPCH Admin OH, You don't know the key combo to get into bios. Most bios use delete. There are a few, older Phoenix bios, that use alt key. My laptop it's alt/insert. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
April 12, 200519 yr Author I've tried all those combinations as well now, still no go :( Have you ever realised that anyone driving faster than you is an idiot and anyone driving slower than you is a loser?
April 12, 200519 yr Author I've finally worked it out- it was the F1 key. :D Thank you for your help anyway! Have you ever realised that anyone driving faster than you is an idiot and anyone driving slower than you is a loser?
