--001a1146d9ce9f04e10545456e46 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 I am having exactly the same problem (Invalid Opcode at HIMEMX line) with a laptop from the same era. FreeDOS 1.1 installed without problems. I was using the 1.2 standard CD. I plan to try the 1.2 legacy CD tonight to see if that makes a difference. (Is there a description of the differences between the standard and legacy installation CDs somewhere?)
