I had to >get a special version for a zenith 386 which demonstrated different symptoms. The norton utilities run fine on a PS/2 55SX, if the IBM supplied driver XMAEM and XMA2EMS are not installed ! If you are using them, try other converter for extended to expanded memory. (For example, under Windows 386, Version 2.11 this works ok) There are a lot troubles between the IBM supplied drivers for extended/expanded memory and the microsoft drivers Example: HiMem.Sys and XMAEM and XMA2EMS don't work together.
