Help needed accessing BIOS by cristobal 2004-02-16 19:37:08
I am working on an old computer (Pentium 200 MMX) for my roommate with an American Megatrends AMIBIOS dated 12/17/97 and a copyright date of 1996 and I can't seem to get into the BIOS. I have tried Del, F1, F2, F10, etc.

Does anyone know any other key combinations to get into this BIOS.
