Ol’ yellowstain is a necrophilliac. He just loves to zombiefy necrothreads. 
A mere one year old thread is nothing; he has been known to zombiefy five, 
seven, and even older threads. I think that his record is 17 years, but I 
could be wrong.

Been working on an old computer. Just installed two 500 MB hard drives with
one to be Master and the other Slave. What information do I insert in my
CMOS to make things work? Questions asked are: Type, Size, Cyls, Head,
Precomp, Landz, Sector and Mode. I haven't the foggiest what to put in
there. Any assistance appreciated. This is a Standard CMOS Setup from Award
