Emm386 Conflict with HardDisk....

Hello there,

	I have installed a second drive on my 386SX system and my system stalls
whenver it reaches the statement "device=emm386.exe noems". If I disconnect the
2nd drive everything runs without any problem. When you install a second drive
hard disk, is anything in a specific memory location stored that the emm386
device driver is trying to access and makes the system halt? 

	I would appreciate any ideas or any troubleshooting tips. I have tried
removing the statement "device=emm386.exe noems" from my config.sys and
everything works fine. I have 6Mbytes installed in my system. I tried the ram
option for the emm386 statement but still the system stalls. Would anything in
the frame statement be causing a problem? I think that the default setting for
the frame statement is d000 meaning address d0000 in HEX.

	I am using DOS 5.0 and I 'd like to keep this version because a C
compiler that I have does not work well with dos 6.00.

	Please feel free to send mail to 

rsl11@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu or
chris@iroquois.cecase.ukans.edu

	Thanks, chris.
