The machine reads the boot floppies and runs the installation program. It finds the Matsushita/Panasonic CDROM drive OK (at port address 340 rather than the one listed)- although I notice that it says it is at 340-343 whereas Windows says it is at 340-347. However, installation proceeds OK, directories are created on the hard disk, but as soon as the program comes to sniff at the CDROM it bombs out with the message "Signal 11 caught- saving what I can and exiting" I would have assumed that this problem was connected with the CDROM drive, but on attempting to install from floppies the same thing happened- after one sniff at the floppy. I don't seem to see anything about Signal 11 in the documentation. Could you give any clues?
