I ran into the same problem when I was trying to set up a ISA machine with more than 16 megs of memory and a AHA1542 card. Soon as I dropped down to 8 megs, the install flew. I asked later about the bounce buffers for >16 meg and was told to get the newest SNAP so they would run and compile correctly. It may have been my motherboard too. I am waiting for 2.0.5 to see. I won't worry if it is as I run fine with 8 megs. Brian Pierson
