It was a Diamond SpeedStar64 with Cirrus 5434 chipset and 2MB running at 1024x768x32K colors at least. I didn't think about a driver conflict. I could've then done some testing with the generic svga drivers in WfW. Thanks for the heads-up. > In the case you would use this combination again in the future: > Does the problem also happen when running on MS-DOS 6.22 instead of > DR-DOS 7.0x.

FILESHIGH I may have tried but not FCBSHIGH. 32-bit file access but no disk access, apparently it wasn't compatible with the 600MB Quantum drive. As soon as I get a 72-pin SIMM for the 486 I'll give it a shot again. I now have a 1.6GB WD drive available and also a generic ET4000 video card so I can test both cards for driver problems. If get impatient I'll just dust off the 386 and install on that again which still has all of its RAM I believe. Marc
