   I wonder if this SETUP could be related to the SETUP on MSC 5.1, which
is also capable of "innovative" behavior...

   When installing Microsoft C 5.1 recently, I was somewhat annoyed to have
SETUP hang right away.  It worked fine on several AT-klones (including a 386)
but on my true-blue IBM AT, SETUP.EXE was swift and certain death.

   It turned out that SETUP was "objecting" to the QuadEGA+ card I was
using.  The other EGA's that I tried (and other adapters) worked fine.

   Why do they need to play such sleazy tricks in a glorified batch file?
