- Sorry, I should have mentioned this before:
- The DMA test is really not necessary. That fact that it fails does not change
- the way FB runs. Just close the DOS window upon test failure and then re-open
- a DOS window and run FB (it is already installed by that point. It should
- work fine. Actually, it probably leaves the DMA speed set to low and you
- might as well set it to high. Its on one of the menus. Other than that, it
- works fine. :-) Please e-mail me if you have more problems.
