	I seem to have found an interesting way to crash IBM 1.1 EE
(no corrective service applied) on my Bell Tech 16Mhz 386.  I hope
that this is a problem with my hardware but others may want to try.
Three things are required:

1.  Disk activity (a .CMD file repeatedly running chkdsk or tree is fine)

2.  Another source of interrupts (a .CMD file repeatedly copying a file
	to COM1 is fine--I had COM1 set to 9600 baud for this test)

3.  DOS box in the foreground

Within a few seconds of switching to the DOS box, the machine reboots.
