It seems to be quite stable...it has never panicked and the error messages I have gotten are explainable. My main annoyance has been that something in Xenix is corrupting the clock. On reboot under DOS or Xenix the clock will be incorrect and this is detected by the machine. This does not happen when the machine is used exclusively for DOS. I believe that the Xenix date command may be doing this. The tech ref guide mentions that when the clock is read the clock valid bit is reset. Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?
