Just ran fxtv for over 30 minutes and didn't get ANY IDE timeouts, but I
also killed inetd/sendmail and other programs that are likely to exercise
the disk.

However, as soon as I started heavy disk activity (concatenating several
large files together), fxtv totaly froze and I had to reboot..  Not even
IDE timeout messages, everything, but fxtv froze.

If I don't kill inetd/sendmail, etc and run fxtv (in a small window) in
doesn't fataly crash any more, just I do get ocassional IDE timeout
errors.

For those of you who "tuned in late", I must the only person trying to run
a Wincast board on a 486/120 and it seems the DMA is taking too much time
on the bus.
