I've been trying to get it working on my //e with an Applicard and a
CFFA v1.4 - PRO/PART.COM hangs immediately after running it, no
messages at all. It looks like it accesses B:, then nothing.
Considering I appear to have gotten the boot disk configured to look
for a partition and this is the last step, a bit frustrating! Any
chance of getting source for PRO/PART so we can trace where it's
hanging?
