[ltp] BIOS setup for 380D, whats the magic key sequence?

try turning it on and hold down the space bar the whole time it boots up.
This will give you a keyboard error and usually kicks you into BIOS instead
of booting.    It's not elegant, but it works!

OK, I just spent an hour playing the retarded "guess the magic key sequence

to get into BIOS setup" with a 380D. Can anyone tell me what obscure set of

keys you have to press to get the blasted thing into setup?

Rhetorically-- Has anyone a clue as to why manufacturers can't even
standardize something as basic as this? Why can't they print it on the
blasted case of the machine. Jeez!
