It seems that some IBM machines would die attempting to run OS/2 and that the problem was fixed by replacing memory chips until OS/2 didn't die. The conclusion was that OS/2 bangs on memory harder thant the IBM memory diagnostic programs. There might be a connection with the 10mhz iobus. -- Phone: (home) 219-482-9631 E-mail: feustel@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax,apple,hplabs,pacbell}!well!feustel USMAIL: Dave Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805
