When I first tried this, I had some flakey things happen, too. One time the driver managed to tell me that it needed a DMA=128 option (something similar to that, at least -- I'm not at work at the moment so this is from memory). I added this to the EMM386.SYS line and the system seems to run OK now. I didn't bother to learn what this is really doing--something about reserving some memory for a DMA buffer. --Mark
