I have been trying to run AIX Access version 1.1.1 on a Zenith Z-386 with MS-DOS 4.01. The drivers load OK, but when after pccinit runs, the system will hang if you try to use any of the resident MS-DOS commands (DIR, TYPE, etc.). I am using a 3Com 3C503 ethernet card. It will also hang if I just install it for RS-232. Is AIX-Access not compatible with the Zenith? -- Jeff Wieland wieland@acn.purdue.edu

It's 4.01 that's screwing you up. AADU is not compatible with it. Use 3.30. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)

AADU is not compatible with it. Use 3.30. Of course, this means that it won't work with the PS/2's that IBM has been shipping for some months now with PC-DOS 4.01. I don't have DOS 3.3 for my Zenith -- it came with 4.01, and the 70 meg hard drive is formatted as one large partition. I hope that IBM will fix this, because we're dead in the water now. Is this another product that is OEM'ed from Locus? It appears to be from the startup screen. -- Jeff Wieland wieland@acn.purdue.edu

AIX Access for DOS Users is *only* compatible with DOS 3.3. This is a limitation of the AADU package. If this poses a problem, contact your local IBM rep and impress strongly upon him/her your needs and concerns. Russ Heise, AIX Technical Support, IBM
