I have recently installed an Amdek Laserdrive 1 SCSI CD-ROM onto my Everex Step 386/20. It works perfectly well in all situations except when I use either himem.sys or qemm386.sys (version 5.12) in conjunction with Windows 3.0 in 386 Enhanced Mode. The symptom is when in a DOS window, if I attempt to access the CD-ROM drive (dir g:, etc.) it terminates the window, and proceeds to lock the entire system up (ala RESET switch). I have tried excluding areas of RAM that have been suggested in various text files on the use of RBBS with CD-ROM drives and QEMM386. The addresses I have excluded range from c800-c9ff to a000-ffff with various modifications in between to no avail. The system has 8M of extended memory, MS-DOS 4.01, and two ST251-1 hard drives, and a SCSI CD-ROM controller card in addition to the standard serial ports, floppies, etc. As I said, the strangest thing is that it works fine except for this one case. Any help would be much appreciated. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- cab3@uafhp.uark.edu - Chad A.
