Design Div. -ColoSpgs Lines: 7 I think that the problem may be with smartdrv. I used to use it as my caching routine, including outside of windows. With the smartdrv version for Windows 3, my AT switches into Turbo mode whenever extended memory is accessed (such as when the disc cache is used). This switch isn't so bad in itself, but it indicates to me that the program counter is dancing around in the BIOS out of control. I have stopped using smartdrv for this reason.
