I had problems when I was using an older version of the 7000 FASST controller
and software.  An upgrade to v3.36 ROMs and software is highly recommended.
As far as I'm concerned, SMARTDRV is a waste of memory, no matter what options
you give to SSTBIO.SYS.  I've had no problems running Windows 3.0 with the
following drivers in my config.sys file:

either the HIMEM.SYS or QEMM386.SYS (v5.1)
SSTBIO.SYS
EGA.SYS (for window's EGA stuff)

I just dropped whatever else the windows program wanted to load up.
