It's the same machine. I deleted everything in c:\baslin and installed 
BL3.10. No changes in the config.sys and autoexec.bat. I have tried all 
of the standard settings of BL3 with the same results. I'll try them 
again and reinstall 3.02 again to verify.

I'm getting ready to replace the hard drive in this machine with a 
larger one. When I do that I can install a Linux partition.
