Larry,
The model 80 problem could be entirely different. Re: the Compaq.
Likeliest problem on a 386/16 is you have one of the defective chips from
Intel, which aren't happy with protected-mode programs such as AutoCAD
10-386 or 11-386 (although the hangup point can vary). Run the CHKBSTEP
(or whatever) program from your bonus disk. If you have the B1 step chip,
best solution is to replace the motherboard or processor. You can bitch to
the math coprocessor guys (they're familiar with it) @ Intel, or jump on
Compaq. Compaq offered an upgrade at one time, but that expired some time
ago. Depends on whether your company happens to have a fantastic
relationship with them.
