If you are running DOS 5.0, boot off a write protected floppy. Then, run
FDISK /MBR from that floppy. The "/MBR" is an undocumented switch that makes
FDISK create a new Master Boot Record. Unless you are using non-standard
partotions or some such, it'll clobber the virus and not hurt anything else.

How is this possible ? Doesn't a SX have a simulated 32 bit bus while the DX
has a real 32 bit bus ? 

Is it possible to upgrade a 386SX to 386 ?

	A rather dumb question, but I've been through a few directories
(long ones) looking for a file splitter.. without any luck. I need to
split large files for multiple disks, but I don't want it to do anything
special with the split file - just slice in half or so. Reason? I'm transfering
it to another machine, but since the format I can read on the other machine
is only 720k 3.5" disks, I'm in need of a way to split the files.

	If anyone can be of help finding such a util, drop me some mail.. 
hopefully with a filename, and maybe which directory its in.

I believe the difference has to do with the using of the FPU.  The last I heard
from a dealer was that the student version (for DOS, I believe) will NOT
use the FPU.  The standard version (version 386/387) must have an FPU 
present for it to run.  I, however, have not tried any of them on a PC and
cannot verify.

Translating controllers are getting more common all the time.  They are

Reply-To: Scott.Johnson@FtCollinsCO.NCR.COM
Organization: NCR Microelectronics, Ft. Collins, CO


Hello all,

	Just a few quick quesitons here on what may be advisable for me to do.
I recently upgraded my 286 to a 386SX-25 using a Kingston SX Now! board.
I have 2M RAM.  Also, I have Stacker 2.0 and Windows 3.0 installed.  I have
re-installed and configured Windows so that it recognizes the 386 and used its
recommendations for SMARTDRV as a starting default. (I think it was like max of
768 min of 256 or so).  Anyway, since I started with the 286, I didn't leave
any uncompressed (unstacked) space for a swapfile.  Also, I've never had to
load EMM386.EXE before.

1)  I don't use Windows a lot (mostly for paint brush and a few Windows games),
    but in general does the swapfile really help things.  i.e. should I bother
    to shrink my stacked drive, grow the uncompressed part and let windows
    know about it, or just forget it.

2)  Any general recommendations about using EMM386.EXE and how to start it up
    (options, et al) would be much appreciated for my particular configuration.
    (Or even if it is worth using with only 2M).

E-mail responses are preferred due to the volume in this group.  Thanks in
advance!

  Zeos uses two of its PCs to service its hearing-impaired customers. We use
"Intele-Modem"s by UltraTec which are capable of low-speed baudot
connections. The software we use is Telix with a script that I have yet to
actually look at. 
  I also had a customer suggest some other software that is more specialized
than Telix but I can't remember the name or source. It is out there though.

Be VERY careful about using BACKUP and RESTORE. You MUST have the SAME DOS
VERSION on both machines, and SYNTAX is CRITICAL. I would personally NEVER
recommend their use for this sort of purpose. The file splitters the person
asked about are an intelligent alternative, although somewhat tedious and
slow. The best alternative I have seen so far is LAP LINK PLUS which allows
transfer from machine to machine via either the serial or parallel ports. It
is fast, but unfortunately the documentation S**CKS (SMACKS of incompetency).
It is a simple and fast program to use, but the manual and screen layout would
not let you realize that easily. At about $115, however, many people will
prefer the slower file splitters. Use them in conjunction with a directory
sort ( by size ) and it is not all that slow or inefficient, and has none of
the MANY risks of the DOS backup and restore. True, the alternative backups
are fine, but once again, you are running into a rather good sized expense,
which many users are hesitant to part with.

Watson appears over it, and I can no longer see the ATM icon.  Whats going on?
Does Dr. Watson have to be the first thing open? Is ATM uninstalling because of
Dr. Watson, or what?  I can get to ATM through the program manager but why is
the icon being hidden?  I know on my mac that all the icons load in horizontal

Hi,
I have a relatively old 386 PC clone (1990) with AMI bios and 1 MEG of
RAM. The CMOS set-up allows shadowing of the video and ROM which I have
enabled. A memory test reveals that I do have 1 MEG, but the BIOS reports
640K normal and 0K extended RAM. DOS will not allow me to use HIMEM or
EM386. I've tried disabling the shadows. Any ideas on how to access the
