Disagreed. Runs okay on my 500 MHz K6-2, but the "music" (beeps which indicate the computation progress, yuck) are shorter than intended. But on the other hand, this K6-2 is surprisingly immune to "runtime error 200" style problems anyway. On a Pentium III with 866 MHz (and twice the RAM speed), I have to use FDAPM SPEED2 to avoid troubles. > EMM386 2.04 corrects a problem with EMS applications ONLY when a low fixed > EMM= value is present. That's a rare environment combination nowadays... You need EMM=... to force some free memory in the first 4 MB because of the stupid SoundBlaster PCI / SoundBlaster Dead! DOS drivers, as you know. Good that my PC still has ISA (and AGP :-)). Eric PS: FDAPM SPEED2 means "trottle to 1/4 of max speed" (by making 6 of each 8 mainboard timeslices "stop grant / CPU halt" ones, using ACPI hardware). Timeslices are usually 1/10000 - 1/1000 second (you can test with RDTSC, because the RDTSC counter keeps running in halt state but work stops...). ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
