SBCD.SYS still crashes, however; JEMM seems to be catching some kind of protection fault. Here's the output, now that it politely prints one message instead of perpetually scrolling up the screen ;)
JemmEx: exception 0D occured at CS:EIP=09DE:00010000, ERRC=00000000 SS:ESP=09DE:00002CE8 EBP=F8002D02 EFL=00033286 CR0=80000013 CR2=00000000 EAX=00000000 EBX=000099FF ECX=00000000 EDX=000009DE ESI=01709087 EDI=000A9087 DS=9DC6 ES=9DC6 FS=C81F GS=09DE [CS:IP]=00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Press ESC to abort program It goes on to produce an indefinite number of further errors, the only difference being that EFL increments by random amounts and [CS:IP] now contains FF FF FF FF 00 C8 51 11. Not sure what all of that is relevant, but unless someone can tell me how to get a core dump in the middle of the boot process, that's all I can offer at the moment. > From: Eric Auer <e.a...@jpberlin.de> > Subject: Re: [Freedos-user] Sound Blaster 16 issues... > > That is odd...

Yeah, that's the problem. According to everything I've read, it's not a standard IDE interface, it only works with SB16. I could just track down a separate controller and a newer CD-ROM, I suppose, but I'd prefer to work with what I have for the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
