I tried to set up an AST print buffer using my motherboard expanded
memory; as soon as I try to print, I lose the virtual disks I had
in expanded memory, my printed file looks wierd, my system siezes up so
badly I have to reboot, and someone in my office dies clutching the
side of their neck and groaning "voodoo".  OK, well this last is a
slight exaggeration :-).
I called AST once regarding some problems I had adding Allways to Lotus,
and the woman I talked to knew her business and was helpful.  The call I
made about this was fruitless:  I got a new guy, evidently.
I have an AST expansion board with two megabites extended, one meg
expanded on the motherboard, and 640 KB conventional memory. I have a
host of TSR's (I know, spit on me) which up till this haven't caused
any pains.
Any wisdom, oh great spirits of the wires?
