Records during bootup itself? As in BIOS messages? Or just DOS (kernel) stuff? Sounds difficult. That's not really what we're trying to find out here. We just want to identify any obvious problems. I vaguely remembered a similar program, but I couldn't quite remember its name. Well, I finally found it: SCRIPT11.ZIP (Doug Graham, p.d. with sources), though that probably won't log stuff "during the boot process". Just FYI, for completeness: http://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/pc/garbo/pc/screen/script11.zip Assuming it isn't just your local DOS configuration or some obscure bug, then we're talking about some kind of incompatibility with either the cpu or similar. Did you ever try a simple DJGPP / C program to see if it behaved similarly? Can you try FreePascal? And obviously try to minimize loading unnecessary drivers, TSRs, etc. And compare to what a normal PC running DOS does. P.S. RayeR (on BTTR's Forum) just got an 86Duino, so maybe you can ask him there. http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=13720 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
