Found the system model! Was Re: Need BIOS setup utility

[Doc Shipley]

   It's a Vobis LCD-386:

   There was one on eBay early this month, too.  Item # 8730903874

   Now I just need to find some docs on the board.  There are several 
jumper sets on the motherboard, and none of them labeled, so I don't 
know how to zap the BIOS yet.

   And yes, I can even boot from hard disk.  The generic Phoenix BIOS 
setup.com from the old www.firmware.com site lets me set floppy, HDD, 
and date settings, it's just not stopping the boottime error.
