Marc used my machine to produce one form of the bug and to develop
these new drivers.   Now I call Microport only to find out that he no
longer works for the company!   I wish him well... But now who do we talk
to about this problem?   I get the feeling that Microport would like to
forget that they ever produced a 286 product!


These new drivers did help with the problem I had, where there were some
strange spurrious HD errors.   The new problem is that now the machine
hangs when there is a "real" HD error.  Oh well.
