I have a WD-7000 FASST SCSI controller and I have a dickens of time trying to
run QEMM 5.1.  The program crashes WP 5.1 when attempting a spell check and
won't load things into high memory.  The plus side is that it is faster than
using HIMEM from Microsoft, although it not as reliable.

Any help in this matter would also be appreciated by me.  Thanks!
