I see no difference at all with that version, either with the

Specifically, with

vol c: hangs. Remove vds, it works normally. (development)
Alright, one more time. I rewrote the VDS routines such that any reserved
function which was unused (0, 1, 0dh-0ffh) no longer returns an error code,
but simply sets carry flag and chains to old INT 4bh handler. That may get
around a SCSI conflict. Or not.
In addition, I cleaned up slightly naughty code which re-enabled interrupts
when returning from the VDS call. Theoretically, the VDS interrupt might
have been called with hardware interrupts disabled for good reason.
Will these revisions change anything? Don't know, but it's the best I can
do without a misbehaving machine here to test. Hopefully no new error was
introduced. Those with VDS-unhappy machines will need to try it out and
report back results.
To test this version of EMM386, amble over to
ftp.devoresoftware.com\downloads\emm386 and download emmhorse.zip. As
before, unofficial release, no exterior version change, no EXE compression.
