As you may have guessed from the number of postings I've made to this group,
my little 486 has some problems. One major one seems to crop up primarily
in Wing Commander II. The game seems to take longer and longer over disk 
accesses, until it  is taking 30 secs or more to load each autopilot sequence,
and then crashes. Kaput, go to RESET button. I know that WC2 has more bugs
than the average locust swarm, but a similar thing's happened occasionally
in Wolf3D and in Windows. The disk checks out AOK with everything I've 
tested it with (chkdsk and Norton's Disk Doctor) except on one occasion where
WCII died as described above and managed to convert the whole of the WC2
\gamedat directory to lost chains: 25 MB of them. Painful.
	At the moment I suspect (pure intuituion) that the problem is either
something to do with the internal/external cache, or that some bit of memory
need to be set aside in EMM386 (I/O ROM shadow or something like that).
Any IBM buffs out there got any ideas?
