Try adding a wait state to your RAM access or slowing your 16/8 bit ISA
buss speed down. The machine I work with at my job was freaking out
previously (P75, 32MB RAM, ASUSTeK MB) but by slowing down the 16-bit bus
speed it now works great - no probs at all. And, works just like a P75
should - nice and fast. Give it a shot, anyway.
