A quick update for those (apparently very few of us) who are trying to figure out why DOS programs run so slowly in 386 Enhanced mode. First off, some non-reasons: 1. `Monitor ports' box checked 2. Other Programs are running in background 3. Using an SX versus a DX (from RONJ@lampf.lanl.gov) 4. Lack of memory 5. `Exclusive' box not checked 6. ? If anyone has any things that they've tried but do not solve the problem, feel free to add to the list. I'd like to go back to 386 Enhanced mode, but not with at a 60% speed penalty! ________________________________________________________________________ Michael B.
