The specifications seem to be OK, and all parts mentioned are new, but the system will not work with 66/100 MHz but only with max 60/90. The system shows up illegal op codes in the kernel or in emacs or X. Also sometime the IRQ of the first serial port (IRQ4) does not respond. (Also my mouse on COM2 dies from time to time). Someone once wrote that this is seen when overclocking the system. The error in the kernel occures when the system tries to identify the CD-ROM (I can give more details if necessary.) I already tried disabling external and internal caches but nothing improves. DOS seems to have less problems with it. There were some similar postings in the past, maybe someone knows more about it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Axel. -- Axel Thimm <thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de> Freie Univ. Berlin, Fachbereich Physik, Inst. fuer Theor.
