- The CD-ROM bit might have something to do with ASPI being needed (?).
- I don't have a SCSI setup, but i do remeber something about ASPI in
- the faq or readme...
- If this is the case, see if Win95 virtual CD-ROM driver supports ASPI
- or if its just SCAM.

- Can you restart it later (after reboot) or do you have to reinstall?
- If you need to reinstall, then its prob'ly getting corrupted as it
- crashes. Maybe Win95's caching system at fault? Can it be turned off
- like smartdrv ?
-
- What beta are you running? (type ver at the DOS prompt or look in help
- menu 4.00.xxx) The highest i've seen is 445 which is sitting on an old
- PackyBell for testing. Its damned slow but usable. I'll try executor
- on it soon. My guess its a combimation of two beta/alpha products.
-
- Later.
