Of course, I do have my BIOS on a floppy ready to flash again if necessary. But really -- if anything -- I'd just want that COMPAQ screen to disappear, not to replace it. I'd want to see whether anything shows up under it. Putting Logo=0 into MSDOS.sys had no effect. There never was an MS bootup screen that I can recall-- & it doesn't prevent the big, red COMPAQ! I should put a Logo.sys into C:/ (I have one elsewhere) & set Logo=1 to see what happens. But I can swear the one in IO.sys never showed back when I had no Logo=0. Well, looking inside IO.sys, I do see... 0003 5F20 00 00 43 4F 4D 50 41 51 00 00 54 4F 53 48 49 42 ...COMPAQ..TOSHIB ....So, it's possible that was altered.
