Hello --

	Thanks to those who responded to my problem with my floppy
disk drives.  You were right:  I needed to move my VGA card to an
8-bit slot.

	Paul Zola at SCO responded and said that he knew of no problems
with the Paradise card, so let me correct him.  I am using a Paradise
1024 card and had to move it to an 8-bit slot.  Setting the DIP switch
to force using an 8-bit BIOS is *NOT* enough.  Fortunately, I do not
seem to be experiencing any speed problems when I run even 800x600
graphics applications.  Perhaps this tidbit could be stashed in SCO's
repository of wisdom.

					Thanks again,

						John
