I am sure if my A590 was ever messing with location zero, but I changed version from 0 to 1, and I know that it does not now change location 0. I have had a LOT more compatibility problems since I partitioned my disk into 2 10meg sections. Since then I have not been able to get MessyDIsk to work, DNET crashes during startup, and a couple of program that I wrote are flakier than I remember them being. I have not had any problems with commercial software (I dont have much), except BattleChess, becuase of some goofiness it requires that it be in either DF0: or DH0: or it wont work (does not crash though) >And what do you mean by "many" programs failing?
