I have an IBM AT compatible machine at home with 640k ram, 45 meg Toshiba
hard drive, OMTI controller, WD1003 hard disk controller, and AMI 286 bios.
I cannot get MWC's Coherent to install on the hard disk.  It panic dumps
when trying to copy files to the hard disk after going through the entire
installation process.  It errors off within the build routine.  I have
contacted MWC about this problem and they graciously offered to refund my
money as they felt it was a hardware incompatiblity problem and might be some
time before they got around to finding a fix for it.  Can anyone out there in
netland offer some suggestions as to how I might fix this?  I am anxious to
solve the problem and get the system up and running.  I believe I have the
latest verson of Coherent 3.1.  I purchased last fall.

                                    thanks, Terry
