- I didn't say I wanted to run my 1740 in Enhanced Mode, I said I wanted
- to run Windows 3.1 in enhanced mode (i.e. 386 enhanced mode, as
- defined on page 7 of the Windows User's Guide). I use aspi4dos.sys
- because I want to run the 1740 in Standard Mode (for reasons of Jolitz
- Unix compatibility).
-
- Just a reminder - the "latest fixed version of aspi4dos.sys" is 3.0a
- (that was the point of my original posting).
