About Documentation

[Wesley Parish]

Hi
I was wondering about doing some documentation, since I've got a lot of spare
time on my hands.  (And a bit of experience writing stuff - one unpublished
novel, one 2nd draft novella, several short stories, and some short short
stories - so I figure I know that side well enough to transfer my skills over to
the technical side without a brain transplant or a second degree.)
What sort of documentation is most needed at this stage?

P.S.  I've got one of those Dell OptiPlex G1 333L thingees to play around with
ReactOS, and it's not recognizing the 3249.3 MB HDD I've got for it.  Anyone
know where I can get an A04 upgrade that'll recognize it?  Or some such BIOS?

I've always gotten BIOS upgrades for my Dells through Dell (go to their
support site, there is a download section, you just have to fill in the
model or service tag and you'll be shown all available updates), is
there some reason this doesn't work for you?

I went and did that after emailing the list, and got a download of the A10 BIOS.
Still won't recognize more than 1023 cylinders.  Bummer!
