Mike: There are numerous persons running 3DS and AniPro on 486 platforms. You, and maybe a few others, have had sporatic difficulties that I can't put a finger on… and the explanation has never been the same. Since most of those with the problem don't post their config.sys and autoexec.bat files, plus any batch files that set 3DS switches, plus tell me if they have modified the pharlap extender with newdx, it is VERY difficult for me to help them. There is only minimal difference between a 486 and a 386 as far as I know when it comes to PharLap… and the major difference is in peripheral/bus timing. Upgrading a mother board only with old peripherals leaves many unknowns. The BIOS on the motherboard may be buggy and may have been updated. These kinds of issues are not nearly as complicated and esoteric with manufacturers like IBM, Compaq, and Everex. Since I'm the MemTM I will do my best to help you out, but you have to give me something to work with. In addition, it is pretty obvious to me that if you get a mylex motherboard with an AMI bios, you won't be here shooting arrows in the dark. That is why I said that you need to concentrate on the motherboard manufacturer and the bios on the motherboard. C#
