Title: CDS bios password
Post by: Mr. Dinoman on February 21, 2012, 05:07:51 PM
Hello all,
Does any one know the password to get into the bios of a CDS video adstrata board?  I can get to the bios, but it is asking for a password...
thanks in advance,
Jimmy

SLOTMAN  has been playing around with CDS hard drives, he might be able to tell you, or send Paul a PM he knows what he's doing with CDS.  I have two video and I have never run across needing a pass word. I need a browine button, after 3 years I got one of them to work.

Alt-Del gets you into the bios with keyboard...My machine is not working yet...Not sure if it is the astrata board or the hard drive yet...I wanted to attache a regular HD with windows98 to see if the astrata board was fully working...I understand that the bios chip is different and looks for a different boot up procedure...Also trying to learn as much as I can about these machines short of everyone saying they are a piece of "S"....

And the first CDS I bought was $280,  Oh that's right that was for 8 of them.  $35 each.  Boy did I get screwed !!
