This is why I suggested that if Tony had not edited his driver,
that possibly there are versions of the OS which are modified
directly on the install disk and these should be removed from
circulation. I had a copy that did some funky stuff and I didn't
use it long. I immediately removed it from my drive and went
in search of a pure copy. I don't even remember where I got
this one that appears to function properly. If I remember I'll
post it, but until then. If anyone has one that is not quite right.
I am offering copies of the one I am using for $6.50 for disks
1-6 including shipping. Thanks Roger. I was hoping I wasn't
the oddball.
