I have a Micronics M54E2 Server motherboard that does not support PM, but as
it is acting a little flakey, I will be replacing it soon.
(To get it running the last time, I had to flex the motherboard. Reseating
all chips, connectors, jumpers didn't bring it up, but power off, fles,
power on got it up. Still have EISA config errors that config can't get rid
of. I think I will trade in the RAM for DIMMs and buy a new MB for the P2
300 chip I have in my drawer.)

And if it shows only one dataset then what?
