I have been having weird problems with my SupersPORT 286.
It lockups for not reason at all.  Here's the senario.
It all seemed to have happened after I installed Borland C++
on it, although I can't believe that this is the problem.
The first thing that I noticed was that BCC would lockup
when compiling the sample programs that came with it, then 
I noticed that I was getting file creation errors, every
once and a while.  I though may be there was a virus, or 
my hard disk was corrupt, so I formated my disk.  After
that I could not even install Borland C++ on my machine
anymore.  By the way the machine passes the built in 
diagnositics.  Next I ran prep on the disk, and reformated
it.  After that I was able to install  Borland C++ again,
but I got the same lockup problems.  
The machine will lockup when I:
Use Borland C++
Use PKZIP 1.01 
Try downloading with DSZ (Zmodem).


Does anybody know what the problem could be.
If I take it to a shop, all they are going to
do is replace the main board, which I can't
afford.

Somebody please Help!
