Try an older version of DOS, or perhaps try booting from something other than the DOS install disk. You could also hack the code where the panic is generated to return something other than 0x12 in AL to work around this. > Joe Diehl -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
