I am having a great deal of difficulty getting MSC7.0 to run on an Intel
302 box.
This is a 25mhz 386 machine. My tests are showing that there is something
strange
about the hardware that is preventing the C compiler from running under
DOS 5.0.
The C compiler (CL) reports the message "R6906 : DOSX32 - not enough
conventional memory 
for exec". I have worked with Qualitas (makers of 386MAX) to see if they
can help. No luck.
Microsoft is also looking into the problem. There must be something funny
about the
machine. I say this because the DOS directory where DOS 5.0 is installed
has a README
that "singles out" the Intel 302 box whenever you install HIMEM.SYS. You
must include
a /MACHINE:8 parameter to HIMEM.SYS.

Anyone got any ideas?
