SRM(?). You might have both 'bioses' in there, and be able to switch 
backwards and forwards, although I can't remember off-hand how to do 
that. It's also possible you can flash a new bios to get SRM.

21-inch monitor box full of the damm things fell on me; I'm still 
finding them in strange places (in the storage room).
