I don't know where or how this thread started, but I have a related
problem.  I have a brand new HiTech 386.  The relocate program they
included is on a DOS 3.1 self-bootable disk.  When I try to relocate
EGA BIOS after booting with that disk, things work great.  However,
I also bought DOS 4.01 from a separate vendor, and when I boot from
4.01, relocate claims that I do not have an EGA board and timing
tests have convinced me that the ROM has not been copied.  Can anyone
give me any help with what to do about this?
