Thanks for the suggestion Richard.  Unfortunately though, I can't
seem to get that to work.  I booted to Windows and in the RUN box,
did: "ps2 SP Fixed Max", but I don't know how to verify that it
took effect in windows, and when I rebooted to Linux and examined
/proc/cpuinfo, I still get a paltry 91MHz as the reported CPU speed.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, I did power down between Windows
and Linux, would this have an effect?  I recall using either PS2
or tpctl a long time ago to enable a serial line, and that effect
has certainly lasted across powerdowns.

Is using PS2 what you had in mind when you suggested configuring
the BIOS?


BTW, should I be able to run PS2.EXE via dosemu or wine?

	Thanks,
	Bill
