[net.micro.pc] AT&T PC-6300 Software Crash

sds1@hou2f.UUCP (S.SIMON) (12/11/85)

A month back I posted requests to the net for help in resolving
completely random non-recoverable system crashing when using the
IBM personal Editor with Mouse Systems pop-up software w/mouse.

I've taken all the helpful suggestions and upgraded to the latest
version of AT&T PC-DOS and the new ROM chip Rev. 1.21.

Results:

Unless you are a complete masochist, do not use the
Person Editor with the Mouse Systems software.  The crash when it
happens, and it will happen folks, is when you have two hours worth
of work in memory, and no back up.

It's possible that the new release of the IBM Person Editor, which
IBM finally came out with works correctly, but let others more
harder than I, explore this situation.
