TAke a hammer..... *jk*

I too have 2 systems that have strange problems. One will not boot to
a Linux floppy with the SB16 in the system, and the other (work
machine) Goes nuts if I try to access the floppy. (Also SB16). Work
is a TX chipset, and home is... VX or HX, or SOMETHING.

thanks,

Joshua
