I have gotten 1.5.0 to work on a nameless Taiwanese 286 motherboard that
has a fairly ancient version of the Phoenix BIOS in it.  The only
strange thing is that when I hit '=' to start the boot, I see

Unexpected Software Interrupt 0x03 at 0x60:0x17 type r to reboot, any
other key to continue

This was most disheartening, until I realized that if I hit 'any other
key' things came right up!

Does anyone know what's going on here?
