AIUI, the problem is not essentially PII specific.
 
Pascal Start-Up Error 200 on fast PCs when using the Crt unit is a VFAQ!
 
Read the many earlier postings in the comp.lang.pascal.borland (Frank H,
Roger D, ...) and borland.public.turbopascal newsgroups (you can use
DejaNews), including the comp.lang.pascal.borland mini-FAQ, and Prof.
Salmi's FAQ  ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/link/tsfaqp.zip #124, and/or see 
http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/  clpb-faq.txt  pas-time.htm  pas-linx.htm 
Some collected patches are in http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/zipfiles/ 

Another fix is to avoid all use of the Crt unit, or, if accurate delay is 
not needed, to compile with TP5 or TP6.
