The trakblas problem that was mentioned has nothing to do with
80386, but rather, the high speed of the machine.
One recommendation that I can give is run 4DOS (available from simtel20)
before you run trakblas and will see why the trakblas program
hanged before. Another solution maybe to turn off the turbo speed
before runing trakblas, but then, you may notice some "imperfectness"
in the songs.
After I solved this problem of trakblas, another problem pops up.
It seems that trakblas only reads in certain amount of data (of the song,
*.mod). So long song (large files like those > 64k) will stop
suddenly.. so far, i only got two songs that exit "normally, smoothly"
Any idea why this problem exists?
