Thanks to the suggestion of a fellow netter, my crashing Windows
dilemna appears to be solved.  All I had to do was remove the
zero wait state jumper and I haven't had a hang since.

I'm still getting those goofy divide errors at the DOS prompt,
and I found a very kooky connection.  It's my MOUSE!  Sometimes
when I load the mouse driver, moving the mouse will cause this
"divide error" message at the DOS prompt, and the # of messages
is proportional to the time the mouse is moving around.  I
noticed this when I accidentally bumped into it and got the
resulting error message.  It's an el cheapo mouse called F2
Mouse MS-300.  It's the only one I could find in black.
Again, I stress that I never had this hokey stuff happen with
the Speedstar Hi-Color card I used to own, so I still think
there is a connection with the 24X card, but what?  You folks
helped me through round 1, how about doin' it again? :)
