For your 387SX problems, there are a couple things to check: 1) Have your numeric coprocessors removed and reinstalled... 387sx chips are VERY easy to install cockeyed or with a bound pin. 2) Check your motherboard switch settings... some manuals on the motherboards ERRONEOUSLY indicate that the jumper settings should be a particular way... try different settings before you assume the processor is/isn't installed 3) Try to get a hold of CheckIt or QAPlus by diagsoft, or use Norton Utilities v5.0 SYSINFO to see if the system recognizes that your NPU is installed. 4) All else fails? Get a new computer (or at least the motherboard) :) =----------------------------------------------= = Jeff Phillips = = onyx@loligo.cc.fsu.edu,systems.cc.fsu.edu = = jeffphillips@f100.n3605.z1.fidonet.org = =----------------------------------------------= =----------------------------------------------= = Jeff Phillips = = onyx@loligo.cc.fsu.edu,systems.cc.fsu.edu = = jeffphillips@f100.n3605.z1.fidonet.org =
