- The problem is that your floppy-disk does not support 'change-line', pin
- 34 on the interface. Check your FD to see if there is some sort of an 'XT/AT'
- jumper. If so, make sure this is set to 'AT'.
-
- The problem is described in the OS2TNT.ZIP file found on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
- (I'm not sure I got that adress quite right. If not, I'm sure someone will
- correct me :-))
