I got a Digital DECpc LPV+ 433dx computer. It has a PhoenixBIOS. For some reason it won't detect the HD so I need to get into the BIOS, but I can't. I used various shortcut key combos to get into the setup program but none of them have worked. Does anyone have any ideas?

What have you tried?

Phoenix... CTRL-ALT and something, most likely.

Try S, ESC, INS, F1, F2

If nothing works, you can also try holding a key down right from power on. That usually causes a keyboard error, which will then bring up a prompt to get into setup.
