I am interested in the Coherent OS, and I was wondering if anyone has saved any previous discussions on the Pros and Cons of such a system? What are some of it's strong points? It's weak points? I've noticed that some people are porting code for it...is the compiler decent? Does it support anything more than SMALL mode code? -Rich email, unless you think this group needs more traffic on a question that I think has been asked before... serling@ucscg.ucsc.edu

I have an IBM AT compatible machine at home with 640k ram, 45 meg Toshiba
hard drive, OMTI controller, WD1003 hard disk controller, and AMI 286 bios.
I cannot get MWC's Coherent to install on the hard disk. It panic dumps
when trying to copy files to the hard disk after going through the entire
installation process. It errors off within the build routine. I have
contacted MWC about this problem and they graciously offered to refund my
money as they felt it was a hardware incompatiblity problem and might be some
time before they got around to finding a fix for it. Can anyone out there in
netland offer some suggestions as to how I might fix this? I am anxious to
solve the problem and get the system up and running. I believe I have the
latest verson of Coherent 3.1. I purchased last fall.
thanks, Terry
