 +There's also an error code **1615** showing:

 +
 +That should be:

-MR BIOS+//Note: To use the MR BIOS version you need either a MR BIOS or AMI branded __keyboard controller__ - alternatives, such as JetKey or Regional will __not__ work; the system will boot (and the keyboard __may__ work in DOS), but you will be unable to enter BIOS, change settings etc.//
