[comp.sys.ibm.pc] NMI problems on MS-DOS 3.2?

bc@njitsc1.UUCP (03/31/87)

I recently upgraded from DOS 3.1 to DOS 3.2 on my IBM AT (one of the early ones).
I hav ethe Sigma Designs Color 400 display adaptor (ver 2.28) which uses the
NMI interupt to help process certain CGA emulations.

They included a small program to turn off the interupt processing if it
interfered with other things in the machine.  It didn't need to use this
program until I installed DOS 3.2.

(BTW, it took many hours to find this.  I finally realized it was dying when the
screen filled up and it hung trying to scroll.)

Has anyone else run into similar NMI processing problems/changes with DOS 3.2?
