Hi Bill,

Yep.

BG> Win95 and OS/2 both perform perfectly, but if I attempt to boot

Aha.

BG> Anybody have any useful suggestions ?

Perhaps. First you've got to stop buying shit equipment from Edge.

As for your current problem, ditch the drivers that came with your
CD-ROM reader. The Triton II motherboard should have been supplied
with CD-ROM drivers and you've got to use them if you want it to
work. There is something a little strange with the Triton II IDE I/F
and I don't know exactly what it is yet, but you've just run into it.
If Edge can't give you drivers that will work, get them to give you
your money back instead.

Regards, Brenton
