- The USE command works fine for me when I do it from a DOS window. Using
- File Manager also works as long as I'm trying to connect to a file service.
- I can't connect to disk services from File Manager because the virtual
- drives don't show up.

- For what it's worth, I've seen the above error message when the Ethernet
- board was using the same interrupt as one of the COM ports (even if the
- COM port wasn't being used for anything else)...
