I've upgraded my computer, and it turns off gracefully with "it is safe to
turn your computer now", in Windows 98, before finally turning off. I was
never able to do this with my PA-2013 board with 1.13JI11 BIOS, instead it
turned off instantly which meant Scan disk was invariably run on power up. I
was wondering was this because of the version os BIOS I was using?
Thanks,
Fellow.

I seem to remember, but I am not sure, that there was some issue with
Win98SE itself that could cause this problem. I think a fix for it was
posted on Windows Update. That was a long time ago, though, so I don't
really remember.

I have not had a PA-2013 motherboard, so I cannot comment on whether it
was something specific to the motherboard's BIOS or not.

I wonder too, because there was that 98se/ME shutdown problem with the
VA-503+ that was fixed with Tim Stennet's je4333b2, but I thought that
was only brought about because of W98 ACPI combined with an AT PSU, and
the 2013 is ATX of course.
Hmmmm ....
