I'm using a NEAT 286 Motherboard running at 10 MHz , a Seagate ST-225 20 Mb Har ddisk, a Tseng EVA/1024 8 Bit VGA card with 512 kb memory, all that stuff under PC-DOS 4.00. When i use an earlier version of scan , fe. V48 , no alarm comes up. Anyone out there in the wild, wild world knowing what's going on ?
