Martin (and Ray),
When I first saw this thread, I thought "Oh, that's right there in
System, or some such place." Then, when I didn't see it right away, I
thought, "I must be mistaken; maybe it's in BIOS."

So, Ray reminded both of us about where to control that inside eCS or OS/2.

Is this on your eCS 2.0 Beta install? I'm pretty sure that it is set on
in eCS 1.1 and eCS 1.2. I wonder why it would have been changed....
