I got some feedback on the earlier posting (above) which directed me to the "Lemis" workaround hack.. GUESS WHAT??? I doesn't work on this board TXpro-II.. I'm depressed. Suggestions appreciated. Have requested info from factory tech and other sources but have had no replies as of yet. Hopefully the new tendency towards UNIX style OS's will cause the hardware manufacturers to investigate the quirks in their boards before launching things which basically only run straight "Gatesdows" applications. (This board even requires maniacal configuring to make DOS safe mode games run correctly. DON'T BUY ONE) Mad jungle dweller. --------------0ACE04EBB5AEC677F271ADCE Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> <P>Antony Ben Aycock wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>Just had to change my Mainboard because of failing DMA's.
