I can´t check which version it is exactly, I deleted wagner an now it can´t boot it tries to recover itself, but fails (no modem connection) I have only LAN. Sometimes if I boot the PC for the first time, the Compaq logo appears. After that it seems that the machine does a reboot/reset or what ever. The logo disappears and after a few seconds it appears again. The machine boot up procedure is complete but 15s slower. And there´s an little connector on the mainboard, I´ll take a picture of it. As far as I know the compact flash is secondary master and the sandisk on board is primary master. But what is this connector? Best regards Ronny > If I get my compact flash to ide adapter Check the motherboard for an ide connection. Many IA devices had the compact flash, but also had 40-pins out for an ide connection, but small scale. The adaptor to go from the small scale pinout to a laptop drive was only a couple of bucks. The tablets we ran BeIA on (DT300's) were only 233Mhz processors, and I believe 32 or 64Mb of RAM. Boot times on those were much faster than the 45-60 seconds you describe, so you might have a debug build of Stinger or something. DJ
