{Kevin,

Yes, it was the key stuck down that did it, I can duplicate the error by
holding any key down. I think my cat is responsible for the busted/stuck key,
he likes to stretch out across the keyboard whenever I'm out of the room, that
and the fact that its not the greatest keyboard around.

I did try booting from different disks, including a copy of the original 3M
boot disk, same result. I discovered that when I was able to get my system to
boot that the version of cio in memory had a bad CRC. It was also much larger
than the cio I have in my CMDS dir. I saved the cio with the bad CRC (I assume
this is the cio in the rom) and then verified it with DED to fix the CRC, now
all is well. Wierd.

Bill
