After being pissed off that Win386 couldn't do anything on my Compaq 386 (only 1MB ram), I tried it on the 55sx. Well, Windows 386 doesn't like DOS 4.0!!! I would have gone ahead and dropped back to 3.3 (4.0 really isn't all that wonderful), except using 4.0 is the only way to format the hard disk as a single volume. When I run Win386, it dumps back to DOS with the message "Unsupported DOS version". Any suggestions? Thanx for your help! -- >>>> Chris Newbold <<<< * "If you fool around with a thing for very long you * University of Rochester * will screw it up." * Disclaimer: "All warranties expire upon payment of invoice." ctne_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu * uhura.cc.rochester.edu!ctne_ltd@uunet
