Maybe I am spoiled by Unix and other Multi-Tasking OSs. I get annoyed with periodic frozen PC ( no more BREAK, Ctl_C, Ctl_Alt_Del ). Looking for others with broader experience than just a DTK386. Do others PCs freeze up as often ? Finally deserted using WP5.1 with QEMM, PeachTree III often dies, misc programs, perhaps with sole exeption of Kermit-MS, all die now and then and I cant get a handle on it .. my environment is as below. Does anything jump out at any of you, video card, disk ctlr, ... . Usually have QEMM386 in and a few items stuffed in hi mem though I seem to be able to have problems even with CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC completely vanilla. My problems are the same with 4DOS in or out. + DTK - PEM-2000 ( 8/20 MH 386 ) FastET20 MotherBd w/ 1 par & 2 ser on bd channels, 1MB DRAM (4x256kbit), 80ns, extended 384 2-32bit ( one or two wait memory ), 5-16bit, 1-8bit slots + DTK BIOS + DM3088A Mono - Herc Graphics card (720x348, TTL, 6845 CRTC) + DTC7287 Disk Controller, DTK, 2-HD, 2-FD + MK134 Hard Disk, Toshiba, 66 MB, RLL + floppy 1.44MB, Toshiba + floppy 1.2MB, Teac Since added Jumbo 120 with separate controller card. Problems before this addition.
