I recently came across your article on using a NetVista as a thin
client. I recently purchased an ethernet (8364-EXX) version on Ebay. For
the life of me I cannot get into the bios. I have tried the password
jumper over and over but the device still boots to the NetVista NS
Boot. The bios seems to be a fairly new version (07/29/02) so this may
be an issue. Is there ANY other way you can think of to get into the bios
so I can set it to Workstation on Demand?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
In our article we included two links to IBM reference material. I would
look through those and whatever IBM docs you can find re the 8364-EXX.
If you are following the password override procedure to the letter, and, if
the IBM docs for the 8364-Exx offer the same procedure, then I would
conclude that the mobo may be damaged. If the bios change is the culprit,
the IBM docs (if you can find them) should indicate a different procedure.
I've noticed it is getting harder to find official info on older IBM devices.
