By "BIOS string", Raymond means the unintelligible series of numbers and
letters on the first boot screen (where you also the the computer
counting the RAM, detecting hard disks, etc.). If you can write these
down (hitting the "Pause" button on the top right of the keyboard may
help), that will help a lot. You can then look these up on Wim's BIOS,
or Google them, or post them here.
