--------------- hi, I recently installed an older verion of UNIX System V (Bell Tech System V Release 3.0) on my newly purchased 386 with the following result: 1. Every once in a while the system would crash without any reason. It seems to crash right after accessing the hard disk. Twice it has crashed while attempting to compile a C program (gave some error while in the assembly phase of the compile). Am I running into a hard disk controller program? My configuration is as follows: 20-MHz AMI 386 (64K Cache) 2 Mb's 32-bit RAM Expert Hard Disk/Floppy Controller (WA2-compatible) Seagate 4096 80-Mb Hard Disk 1.2-Mb 5-1/4" Floppy Monochrome Monitor + card (w/parallel port) Serial Port Card (2 ports supported, 1 currently installed) Bell Tech System V Release 3.0 (1-2 user license) Am I in need to a different controller (what type would you recommend) or do I need to upgrade to the latest release of system v? thanx, David A.
