That did the trick! Thanks. Yes, so as you've said, it probably does
something a bit unexpected when it probes the expansion port slots that
makes LisaEm die.
Turning on the dual parallel port card in each of the 3 slots probably
makes it do something else which doesn't cause LisaEm to die.
It of course makes the Lisa boot ROM menu look ugly, but I can live with
that. :)
I'm in GEMDOS now. It's cute. So it's kind of a cross between CP/M and
DOS. How do I start the graphics mode? GEM.PRG says file not found.
GEMVDI.PRG said it loaded itself in memory - I guess the way old DOS
TSRs did. EXIT GEM.PRG just hung the OS.
The help command works, but there's no more command, however, if you hit
Control-S / Control-Q it does XON/XOFF paging. But you have to be quick.
I tried a | character, but it came out as a ? for some reason, so
couldn't find if it supported a more command.
