     Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it didn't help me a bit;
my system still hangs.

     I've spent a lot of time fiddling with this thing now, and I
am one unhappy camper.  I've even begun thinking the unthinkable:
dumping the bridge board and getting a real AT clone.  I don't want
to do this.  Aside from this problem and the gimpy display when
animations are shown (I could always get a VGA board, I guess), the
bridge board does work really well.  Can anyone else please help me?
