As you can see from my comments below, I have a DOS application that used to run on MS-DOS 6.22 on this box. Now that I have changed to Linux and am trying to run it inside of Dosemu, then I get a Runtime Error , 6003 I think it says. Anyway it says it is a divide-by-zero error.
What can I do about it? I enabled the hardware address of 0x300, so it is not that problem. Please respond to both of my email addresses, so I can see it at home as well, where I am working on this box.

So my next step was to add in the enabling of that port address. > +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Gary Hinton AC7R Phone: (602) 438-3450 | | Product Engineering FAX: (602) 438-3836 | | Motorola Computer Group Pager: 877-992-6630 (two-way) | | 2900 S.
