Are you running any kind of cache program (e.g., SpeedCache)?

If you have DOS 3.1, you can SUBST C: E:\

does anyone know if you need code blue to run the microsoft languages
on a rainbow??   i haven't tried installing bascom v7.0 on my rainbow yet
because i would have to copy all 12 disks onto 24 single sided disks so
the rainbow could read them.

installing bascom 7.0 on a corona xt failed.   the install worked, but the
compiler would crash when executed.   installing bascom on a taiwan clone
xt worked, and the compiler would function like it should.  i tried compiling
a simple program that would run on the taiwan clone, and put it on a disk,
put it in the corona, and it crashed the machine.

it appears that the compiler (and all code it produces) needs to run on
a machine with a similar interrupt structure to the ibm.  does code blue
remap all interrupts to their ibm counterparts in such way that the
microsoft languages can function??

Version 2 of anything is usually the version that works.
