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?"
