Mike, Sounds like heat to me. When I installed my Mitsumi, I also installed a second fan in my tower case. My motherboard is stuffed (all the slots are full) and this helps move the air around and prevents hot spots. You should also check your power supply fan to…
Michael, Thanks for your input. It supports my contention that DMA is required for multimedia. I'm trying to resolve the DMA software problems with Mitsumi. I'll let you know if there is any success. Ken
Erik, Thanks for your input. I haven't had time to set up a similar test on my system (hope to get to it soon). The kind of test you ran seems like a valid way to test the system – real life operation. I'm also running a 486DX-50 w/16meg and…

Robin, I've been working on this problem since my last message reply to you (#46393). I've been to every forum on CI$ that seems appropriate – no luck. But after much ditzing around I have come up with two patches for the "Mitsumi stalls in Enhanced Mode DOS window" problem.…
Robin, I'm trying to track down a similar problem. When running Visual C++ to build a program, if Visual C++ has to go to the CD for anything (compiler, libraries, etc.), the system seems to lock up for 10 second periods, followed by a fraction of a second of CD-ROM…
