We'll return to jallen@pobox.com and All's
discussion of Getting Prepared for install

 ja> What OS is on the other machine on the LAN?  If it's Win95 or WfW then
 ja> use the MS Client for DOS on this mono machine to connect to the
 ja> other. Email if you need more details.

Options here:

If the OS on the other box is a Windows variant, or OS/2, read above.
If it's Linux, you could use MSClient setup for TCP/IP operation, and
run Samba on the server, or simply use NFS on the Linux box, with XFS ad
a client on the DOS machine.

As to the original problems, I don't have any ideas.  Perhaps the old
trick of pulling cards out one at a time might reveal the suspect.

FWIW, I had an Osborne 386 motherboard which wouldn't run Linux.  As a
matter of fact, it wouldn't even load QEMM, so I ended up ditching it as
unusable (except for a relatively simple DOS machine).

... "Did you miss me?"  "With every shot so far!"
