I have a Pantera 90. It received the IRQL error *once*, after disabling the 
cache (L2 / external). Before that I got the 
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_TRAP_ERROR in the same sporadic genre as this previous 
poster. I can't believe PCMagazine gave this 
machine an editor's choice award. SURE it runs Windows 3.11 and DOS, but 
who in their RIGHT MIND runs these operating systems on a pentium, or 
more to the point, who would make a system that could run ONLY these 
operating systems. I am crossposting this to biz.zeos.general, so you 
zeos personel better listen up! I want a new motherboard and whatever 
else it's going to take to get this system running a REAL operating 
system. BTW, this machine couldn't run OS/2 Warp either. DON'T BUY ZEOS. 
Although not posted here, the previous poster mentioned that their tech 
support is very unhelpfull, and  in short, sucks. Which it does. About 
half the people I have talked to are arrogant and unwilling to help with 
anything but Windows and DOS, and only when I negotiate my problem
in a most sensitive and submitting manner do they -consider- helping me.

I have looked into the microsoft knowledge bases and technet, no thanks 
to zeos, and discovered that the 0x0000007f trap error usually occurs 
because the memory is bad, the simms' speed is mismatched, or there is a 
problem with the motherboard. The other possibility was corrupt software, 
which is irrelevant, because I've run the repair routine and verified all 
the files on the disk. Although a concern, the processor isn't overheating 
because I've yanked open the case and placed a huge fan blowing on a
taped-on heat sink.

Any ideas would be helpful. Please email me.
