Now that we have cured the GPF problem due to setting memory larger than 
actual, we still have an 'internal stack overflow' when we try to run 
Syschk under MS DOS 7.10 standalone.  Removing the sound card (which is 
IRQ7) and/or changing onboard parallel port to IRQ5 did not help.

Nor does setting STACKS=64, 512.

We changed from two EDO and two FP SIMMS to all FP simms (60 ns) - should 
we be setting something in BIOS about RAM speed?  Memtest passed the two 
pairs of SIMMs we were using at first and we tried them separately (one 
pair at a time).

If we boot with FreeDOS we don't have this problem.  Is MS DOS 7.10 buggy 
in this respect?   We already have three computers where FreeDOS won't 
boot from hard drive but this would be the first with an MS DOS 7.10 
problem.  It is nice to have choices!  I was using the computer for 
several years with DR-DOS so we could try booting with it from floppy disk 
as another experiment.
