Need Help with SD11

[Guest]

I inherited an old SD11 and have to re-instal Windows 98.

It has a network card since someone used it for boadband. This net
card conflicts with the modem that is also installed. The netcard
shows the dialup adapter under device manager. Theere is one serial
port show so the other muct have been dropped out and the slot
replaced with the modem. Anyway the modem will not show up in device
manager.

How do I get the dialup adapter to be with the modem I am thinking of
removing the netcard since it is no longer needed.

I need to get to CMOS. I have been unable to do so by pressing the
delete key during bootup. Is this the correct key but the machine is
moving too fast for me or is there another key I should be using to
enter CMOS? Your help will be appreciated.

Which modem do you have? If it is not a fully hardware-based modem, it
may not be recognized by Windows until you run the driver setup program
that comes with the modem. Most modems these days fall into this
category.

I do not know if the Del key is the right key or not. Other possibilities
usually include F1, F2, or F10. Sometimes, I just bang on all the keys at
the same time, with the hope that it will produce a keyboard error, thus
letting me into the BIOS.
