Is the problem specific to a particular version of Xenix or combination of hardware? At home I have the Everex card in a Everex 10 Mhz AT (Club AT). I've been using Xenix/286 2.2.1 for about a year now, without any troubles at all. -- Bob Leffler - Electronic Data Systems, Financial Information Services Division 3044 West Grand Blvd., Room 11-101, Detroit, MI 48202 (313) 556-4474 bob@rel.mi.org or {uunet!edsews, rutgers, sharkey}!rel!bob Opinions expressed may not be those of my employer.
