[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Jetscript 386 conflict in virtual 8086 mode

bloom@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Marc Bloom) (01/26/89)

I,m using a Jetscript board in a generic 386(Hauppage, Award Bios
3.06).  Everything worked fine until I added a memory manager
(386MAX, Qualitas).  The memory manager works well with the
Jetscript board removed.  When I try to run the manager with the
board installed the system periodically crashes.  I get error
messages indicating that something (presumably the Jetscript board)
is trying to do a hardware addressed read or write across a page
boundary.  I've narrowed the problem down to the manager and the
board.  Has anyone had any similar problems using Jetscript in a
386 running in virtual 8086 mode?  Is there a memory manager that
will let me convert extended to LIM4.0 without invoking virtual
8086 mode.  I suspect similar problems might exist with Windows 386
or DesqView 386, but I haven't had experience with either. 
Suggestions?

I installed a Jetscript w/ a DELL310 system running QEMM4.2 and it
worked fine. Perhaps 386 to the Max is your problem.
