Help! Does anyone know of a fix or a patch available or Impulse's Imagine 2.0 for the PC? I have recently upgraded to an Alaris motherboard with an IBM SL2/66 chip. Imagine 2.0 worked just fine on my previous 386 but upon upgrading running Imagine 2.0 just reboots my machine. Any suggestions? Many TANKS, Mark.

I don't know if you changed other things in your system when you upgraded, but I recently had similar behaviour after running DOS 6's MEMMAKER. Turns out the culprit was EMM386 — Imagine 3.0 doesn't get along too well with EMM386, apparently (there was mention of this in the docs) Maybe Imagine 2.0 has a similar unhappy relation.

I could be wrong, but I think the IMB chip has no FPU build in. You need a co pro. -David

MaRK The SLC chip is not fully compliant with the INtel structure, there is no way to run IMagine on the SLC chip, sorry. Mike
