Can anyone please offer advice on the following predicament.

We have an IBM 6150 (Apparantly its called the 6150 in the UK, and the RT
in the ROTW) with a DOS co-processor. It also has a Stallion 'Intelligent
Serial I/O Controller'. The problem lies with running databases on the
DOS copressor.

dBASE III, Knowledgeman and Paradox will not run on the DOS partition. Other
packages such as Word Processors (and dBase II) work fine. When an attempt is
made to run dBASE III the console hangs, and the only way out is to stop the
coprocessor i.e. Ctrl Alt Action.

This is a pain. Can anyone help? Any suggestions or hunches at all would be
gratefully received.

    - Dougie
