Ummm, what I meant to say was that EMM386 crashes when TaskMgr is running.

I'm also having problems with an internal Zip drive.

First, it won't load the Zip driver (the Zip is master on 2nd IDE) unless
the CD-ROM driver has been loaded first - the CD-ROM is slave on 1st IDE.
This also happens with MSDOS 6.22.

Second, trying to run the Iomega utility programme (scsiutil.exe) locks up
the machine. It runs OK with MSDOS.

Any ideas on why this happens?

Ray Greene.
