-         Whether I crash off the HD or off my stripped-down floppy, 
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sounds depressing!  
 
- I get two bombs ---it looks like just when it's trying to give me a
- desktop (in either case, I always see all the expected boot-process
- console messages first).
 
If you *are* using the old utilities, by all means GET THE NEW 
UTILITIES!!!  Now that that's off my chest, you may want to check 
that ICDBOOT.SYS isn't corrupted.  One way to check this is to GET 
THE NEW UTILITIES!!!  :^)  Call their BBS and download them, call ICD 
and have them send you a disk with them on it (~$10), or maybe I 
could send them to you.  (I know, I'm going to get flames, "ICD 
copyright rules state, 'You may not distribute ICD utilities to 
fellow ICD host adapter owners.  We want as much money as we can 
get!'")
