No, not conclusions, if I would have had a choice, I would not have changed
the controller card (hardware failure). I am not about to introduce OpenDOS
onto the only other machine at my disposal, which is the server here, so, I
am left with this older 486, with a new caching controller.

I know, that's why I asked, and what I said already!

I can't run the old card, and it's Norton's Speed Disk, not OpenDOS directly,
that is causing the problems.
To the other's on this thread, I am not multitasking, TaskManager is not
loaded, nor is EMM386 (it blows up and reboots my machine if I try and load
it, although it will load in conjuction with HIMEM.SYS, but not alone).
