I bought the upgrade and I'm having trouble installing it.  I cleared
out 3mb of disk space and shut down all my TSRs and I have more than
512K memory free.  I put in Disk 1 and typed a:setup and after it
accessed the floppy and hard drive three or four times, it just sits
there and stares at me.

I had a friend make me a bootable disk and my system is happy to run
5.0 for me, but that's as close as I can get.  I've got Phoenix BIOS
(I think it's Ver 2.13 [I got it on a Leading Edge Model D in 1986]).

Any ideas?

(BTW, I just remembered that I have three device drivers running,
CLKDRV.SYS (it handles my date/time), ANSI.SYS, and VDISK.SYS.
Would they mess things up?)
