Re: CA/95 3.1.2 Is it stable?

[lgoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxx (lg - Loyd Goodbar)]

Many thanks to Ed Smith at IO products for clearing up my problem.
With the 8251EH card, we were loading the twinax adapter handler and
Netsoft twinax extenstion in WINSTART.BAT. Ed suggested we move this to
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Apparently the problem is Windows is doing something between
processing AUTOEXEC and WINSTART that programs in WINSTART are not as
stable.

The symptoms: After Windows 95 is loaded, go to a DOS prompt and type
MEM/C. If NSTWINAX and CONNAH *don't* appear in the list, the programs are
being loaded from WINSTART. After I moved these programs to AUTOEXEC,
everything works great. Just some more final testing, and I'll be pretty
happy with the setup.

I'm not that familiar with the WIN95 startup process, and I'm curious to
know what happens between AUTOEXEC processing and WINSTART processing that
may cause this problem...

Again, thank you Ed Smith for the help! Goddess knows it's expensive enough
to upgrade to Windows 95 without the added expense of twinax adapters!
