Hi! In our school lab we have a few 486 dx2/66 machines that are Novell certified boards, but will not find the printer port lock for 3D studio version 3 … we read the docs on this and have tried everything that the book suggests (ie. putting a printer online at the same time)… still we cannot get it to recognize that the hasp is on the parallel port … is there a fix for this speed of computer?!… we are running it on a VESA machine, with a VESA i/o card … we have also played with almost every combination of i/o wait states, etc… (MR BIOS is the bios chip being used in these machines) … the machines have 16 megs of RAM … is there any new hasps out that will run with the faster machines or any possible fixes that anybody knows of?! It will still run on our 486DX50's but not on these dx2/66's… If anybody knows of a fix could you email on the InterNET if you have access "jmochln.etc.bc.ca"?! or reply here and I will check in about a week or so… Thanks in advance Jack Moch School District 54 Smithers, BC Canada

Jack, Check out the document HWLOCK.TXT in the 3DS library. It goes through many possibilities. -Brian
