You can always take a floppy disk with the BIOS info on it and make it into an image to make a bootable CD with it. I work on laptops for a living and that is what I have todo with a lot of the laptops nowadays because of the lack of floppy drives. Plus once the bootable CD is made it takes next to no time to update the BIOS's as the system doesn't have to read the information from the floppy drive every time.
Actually WinXP's setup will work with USB floppy drives. I recently setup a Sager laptop with RAID support(yes the laptop had 2 IDE harddrives in it) and because the laptop didn't come with an internal FD I used a USB floppy drive I had laying around and it worked just fine for loading the RAID drivers.
What they should do is do a series based on the alternate universe. Bits and pieces of it have been given in 3 of the series, so why not make a whole series out of it? Would give a completey different view than what we are used to, no prime directive, Terran Empire ruling over Vulcans, Andorians, and the like, showing no mercy, and whatnot. Best part is even with what we know of the alt universe, there is a whole lot left unwriten which would leave for some origionality like the formation of the Terran Empire, its subsequent downfall, and then the terran slave rebels defeat of the Klingon-Cardiassian aliance. Lots of untapped material I say - XSS
Try setting the init string to AT&F that will put the modem to factory settings and use the speed that is determined through negotiation between the modems. You will know when you get a V.90 connection when you hear 2 pings(for a lack of a more descriptive name). Once you get the V.90 working you can set the init string to AT&FM0 to turn off the speaker if you so prefere.

I hope people didn't take you seriously as Sears appears to be sold out right now of that LCD fixer tool. Well there is always http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBV Cookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00938395000&subcat=Ha mmers instead. That one should work better anyways hehe :) - XSS
