[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Quadtel BIOS

glenn@welch.jhu.edu (Glenn M. Mason) (06/19/91)

Has anyone had experience using this BIOS in a 386SX machine? I have 
version 3.05.05 running in a new machine and have encountered a problem
when attempting to create a macro with ArchiveXL-80 tape software. The
exact same software (DOS,tape software, etc.) is loaded on various other
machines, and I cannot produce the error anywhere except for the machines
with this BIOS.

When attempting to play back the macro, the system locks up and starts an
endless series of double beeps requiring a reboot. Could a different BIOS
cause a problem like this? 

I called the computer manufacturer and they told me that this BIOS is up
to 3.05.06 and they are sending me the latest chip. But at this point I am
not really sure what the problem is.
