- We recently brought our machine to maintainence because int was
- crashing intermitantly in Win. 3.1. This is an old 386 with
- 1989 AMI BIOS. (I don't recall what motherboard). It has been
- in for a week now after withstanding swapped memory, BIOS,
- motherboard and now they say that a non-IDE drive is the
- culprit.
-
- I'm a bit skeptical. It sounds as if they are replacing
- hardware untill it works.
-
- Has anyone heard of these problems and Win 3.1? Better yet any
- clue on what might really be wrong?.
-
- Anyway thanks for listening to my whining....
