It was a Compaq Presario 4/25 In other Computers there is a Option: Halt on NO Errors, but in a Compaq i will never find this. I need this because the Compaq will work as a Router. Okay it work's when a keyboard is connected - but it must work without a keyboard .. Ulrich Koch |

Mr. Koch
I never did this with a Compaq, but on other older machines we had some "Dummy Loads", that made the machine think that the appropriate peripheral input/output devices were connected (KVM). I don't know where the came from, there were just several sets in use at the shop I used to work at. We used them on machines that might get rebooted locally/remotely, but really didn't need any operator intervention beyond the power switch. We also used them where we didn't want the client fiddling with the system or where space was an issue. They work fine and on any and all of the machines we had back then. Perhaps some one here might be able to add some more details about them and where you might be able to get them. BTW you share a fine name with my great grandmother, Emma Koch. Nice to be able to offer a little help to family, no matter how distant. "Heiner Hass" wrote in message ...

Probably not. From my experience, servers sometimes offer this option, but
desktops rarely do. The Compaqs are not usually that flexible. "Ulrich Koch" wrote in message ... Hello !
