The initial symptoms were identical to yours: quits the setup after 2 steps. The problem was solved by calling Columbia Data to get a new release of their ROM: it was an undersight on behalf of the original ROM programmers. It is quite possible that you have a similar problem. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Grant C Blair, DuPont Imaging Systems, Newark, DE 19702, USA | |blair@pyro.ei.dupont.com (192.58.195.64) (302)-733-9533 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Grant C Blair, DuPont Imaging Systems, Newark, DE 19702, USA | |blair@pyro.ei.dupont.com (192.58.195.64) (302)-733-9533 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I had a problem with using a Plus Impulse Drive and a IDE drive where in both cases the controller card had its own BIOS. The fix for me in this case was to find the Memory address for the cards and put this in my config.sys device=qemm.sys exclude=c800-c9ff ram ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This piece right here tells qemm to stay away from segment of memory.
