I use aspi4dos.sys because I want to run the 1740 in Standard Mode (for reasons of Jolitz Unix compatibility). Just a reminder - the "latest fixed version of aspi4dos.sys" is 3.0a (that was the point of my original posting). -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Tweten tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center, M/S 258-5 (415) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 FAX: (415) 604-4377
