I have bought two 286 motherboards now, whose BIOS does not seem to support Dos Merge. Can anyone steer me to a fast (16 MHz or faster) board that they *know* handles uPort 2.4 okay AND Dos Merge? I know all the rest of you have migrated to 386's (:-)), but I'd be happy for now to see V/AT working with Merge. I'd appreciate a vendor and board model number. Thanks in advance, John PS - perhaps one of you 386 users has an old 286 that you had working under merge??? -- John Kennedy | Second Source, Inc. johnk@opel.UUCP | Annapolis, MD

Once done, no problems. I'm still running 2.3 and Merge -- has uport released a version of Dos Merge that runs with 2.4? -- UUCP: uunet!w3vh!rolfe | Rolfe Tessem INTERNET: rolfe@w3vh.uu.net | P.O.

Yes, (well sort of) Microport has a version internally that was pretty solid. You would probably have to call them and beg to get though. Last I heard, it was being beta'ed. That was in late February - early March. Ken Chapin
