Well, I found that the problem was caused by the 'ced' command-history
TSR.  I haven't tried 4dos, but the problem is gone anyway.  I have
heard about something called "hyperdrive" or something like that.  Have
you tried that one?

Is your m/b the Soyo one, or is it "the same" in that it has the ami
bios and c&t chipset?
