We are having the same problem with several Zenith 248's (12 Mhz 80286 + 8 Mhz 80287). They are ok with Turbo C and Turbo Basic, but QuickBasic 4.5, MS-Fortran (Old - V. 2.5 or something) and WATFOR Fortran will crash as above. The programs in QuickBasic *seem* to get into the 87-exceptions routine, but since the crash wipes out the debugger, it's hard to be sure. Any suggestions? john ----------- HASSLER@MAINE.BITNET
