I have two versions of Coherent and use it on my laptop with MS-DOS 4.01 (16 MB DOS, 32 MB Coherent, Victor 286P, DTC RLL, PTI Hard Disk). The other one, a 386 with two Harddisks RODIME 5130R, each 110 MB, also with MSDOs4.01. First Harddisk 32 MB DOS, 32, 46 MB Coherent, 110 MB Dos. The Masterboot always works. Maybe Coherent didn't like IDE-Controllers. You should also try other Boot Managers. There was one in comp.os.binaries.ibm.pc some weeks ago. But I never had problems with MSDOS 4.01 and Coherent on the same hard disk Joachim For replies use: joachim@jrix.radig.de
