I have an NEC-25 cd-rom drive and a MediaVision ProAudio Spectrum 16 >card. The CD-ROM bit might have something to do with ASPI being needed (?). I don't have a SCSI setup, but i do remeber something about ASPI in the faq or readme... If this is the case, see if Win95 virtual CD-ROM driver supports ASPI or if its just SCAM. >Second, I cannot set the applzone higher than 2048 while running E/D in a DOS >window.

I thought I would just pass this on. I have no idea >if there is a bug in Win95 or E/D 1.99L. Can you restart it later (after reboot) or do you have to reinstall? If you need to reinstall, then its prob'ly getting corrupted as it crashes. Maybe Win95's caching system at fault? Can it be turned off like smartdrv ? What beta are you running? (type ver at the DOS prompt or look in help menu 4.00.xxx) The highest i've seen is 445 which is sitting on an old PackyBell for testing. Its damned slow but usable. I'll try executor on it soon. My guess its a combimation of two beta/alpha products. Later. Baskin UT Austin Team OS/2
