Hi Mike,

Thanks for taking the time to post suggestions. I tried putting the video card in my other computer and it works fine. I don't have a PCI video card, but my AGP card from the other computer doesn't have any effect when I put it in the new mavhine. I've disconnected everything except the floppy drive, and there are no other cards installed except video. I've also tried removing the floppy and plugged it into my other computer and it works fine there. Also, I booted my other machine with my start-up disk (Win98se), and the disk works as advertised. In this configuration (only a floppy and a video card), the new computer powers up and tries to access the floppy initially, but then everything stops. It sure sounds to me like its trying to boot, but can't get past the floppy drive.
