The problem turns out to be that I had a mono card in the system. According to ISC, in the extended modes, the VGA addressing is extended to 128K, which causes it to overlap the mono memory at 0xB80000. I removed the mono card, and all the problems went away. We often see flames in this file, so I'd like a chance to thank ISC and their support staff for being very cooperative in this matter. --------------------------- Clip Here ------------------------------------ 1 Official Customer Satisfaction --------------------------- Clip Here ------------------------------------ I'd also like to apologize to the "particular person" about the server kit, who has also been very cooperative, for my rude remarks in an earlier post. (Whoever forwarded the previous post, could you forward this too? Thanks!) P.S. I now have Epoch running under 386/ix 2.0.2 X11R3 1.1, for anyone who might be interested in the patches. These patches will be in the next release, due out at some future time. Thanks to the guys at ISC, I've now switched to 386/ix as my development platform. Alan M.
