Hey...

I've got a Zenith Data Systems Z-Note 325L system that has a "MFM-300 Monitor" as the BIOS. Besides the fact that it's the only PC I've ever seen with a programmer's interrupt (Ctrl-Alt-Ins), I have no clue how it works. Can anyone help?

Closest bit of info that I found was at http://mpickering.homeip.net/phpwiki/index.php/ZenithLaptop

Jst a few lines on the MFM-300 near the bottom.

I remember that MFM was a type of hard disk used in early 8086 and 286 clones. The cards still worked in systems that had ISA slots, as I recall using them in my 386/486 even in a Pentium once.

Odd they would name a BIOS that unless it indicated the system used MFM. Is it standard IDE drives inside or something different?
