F10 Setup.  The user may choose between Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, 
Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Swedish.  Please note however, that 
the user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the operating system.

Note - This ROM is compatible for use with Windows 98.

  full in DOS mode.

  causing the system to incorrectly disable the cards.
