Re: [avrdude-dev] AVR-DUDE parallel port options not working

[Dennis Clark]

Joerg,

  That could be the case, but I've no clue how to get my Thinkpad
A20m into bios mode to change it.  I've tries, ESC, F1, F7, F8...
I have yet to see this addressed via a Google search either.  I
am not a PC guy, I'm a Mac person, so could someone have pity
on me and tell how to get to the bios on bootup?

thanks,
DLc
