Lines: 20 I have also had this lock-up problem on 286 and 88 machines. I recently rebuilt the 3c503 driver from the .ASM sources. Now, if I install the driver from the command line AFTER autoexec has finished, the machine seems not to lock up. The driver I built using MASM 4.0 on the 8088 machine is 4108 bytes long, the driver I got from the distribution is 4106 bytes long. I know not what the difference is. Also note, I removed the .286 from defs.asm when rebuilding the driver - masm 4.0 didn't like it. If I try installing even my newly built 3c503 driver from the autoexec, it locks up the machine as described in previous posts. If you are having 3C503 problems, try rebuilding the driver locally - it helped me - but has not completely solved all my problems. <
