hmm... maybe this is similar to my problems that I have... as one of the
crashes that I had caused ed0: device timeout's...  i.e. intrupts stop
working...

major different is that I'm running SCSI... and it might be a conflict
between the two...  once I was able to manipulate windows and such.. but
the windows were swapped out, so they were never updated...

I don't know...  I think there is something else wrong...  as you can see,
my system is a 486 bases system too...   have you check to make sure your
mb is pci2.1 compliant?  I haven't gotten around to check mine out...
