I am having a problem getting Windows/386 to run on my system. I have 
an Everex Step 386/33 with 4Meg of memory and 128K of cache. I have
a Logix VGA card and an adaptec 1542A SCSI/floppy disk controller.
The tech support people at microsoft are currently guessing that there
is an interaction between windows/386 and my SCSI controller, they say
that windows/386 is very hardware sensitive. They seem to think that
anything other than a standard AT compatible MFM/RLL controller is very
unusual. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

P.S. The system has been running windows/286 for some time without problems.
