I have ran Q-Pro on three different machines:
  IBM-PS/2 Model 30 / DOS 3.3
  Clone 386/VGA     / DOS 3.3
  Zenith 286 (Big Box)/VGA / Zenith DOS 3.3+

I have yet to see it lock up any where.  Here is the config.sys from my 386:

BREAK=ON
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20
DEVICE=C:\UTILITY\NNANSI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\VDISK.SYS 3072 512 128 /E
DEVICE=C:\TC\TDH386.SYS
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:1024

I think that I have a STACKS command in the config.sys of the model 30 and I
am unsure about the Zenith.  Also the NNANSI.SYS was not in my config when
I was testing Q-Pro on the 386.

The only problem that I have encountered with it is that on my Clone VGA
(Excelogic VGA/16 Adapter) is that the cursor in Graphics Mode tends to get
left all over the place.  But then again.... It worked fine on the Zenith VGA.
