Thanks David. I did finally get it working. There was a switch to disable sanity checks and once I set that it stopped making the error. It works nicely and my entire FAT32 data drive is availible to DOS. Now I just have to get a long filename TSR working. I did end up switching from PC-DOS to Dr-DOS though too so that also might have made a differance too. Multitasking works a little better in Dr-DOS. Its interesting but with the Toshiba Win98 screen driver loaded in DOS I get 800 by 480 screen resolution!! Its too bad the floppy doesn't work with pcmcia drivers loaded though.
