Anyway, make sure that your tape drive is set for IRQ 5, DMA 1, and I/O 300-301. Intel claims to support a lot more tape controller/driver combos in 4.0, unlike 3.2 which only supports the Wangtek PC-36. However for anyone in future I *DO* recommend buying the floppies, since they are more generally portable and cost less. Get 5.25" if possible. -- If the human mind were simple enough to understand, =)) Tom Neff we'd be too simple to understand it. -- Emerson Pugh ((= tneff@bfmny0.BFM.COM
