However, it turned out to be some kind of conflict between my graphics card and the YMF-719. I think it was my ET4000W32Ps that didn't play well with it, however an ARK1000 based card worked just fine.
Later though, I tried another YMF-719 card WITHOUT the IDE connector, and this one worked with my ET4000W32P cards just fine. So I came to the conclusion that the IDE portion of the card was causing some kind of issue.
Hmm... That's not good, this is the only card I have that will drive my XR385 without the hanging note bug.
Current specs:
AMD 5x86 133MHz
The infamous M919 motherboard with no L2
40MB 72pin Memory @ 0WS
1MB S3 805 VLB Video (Temporary, until I find a PCI replacement)
YMF-719
128MB CF in CF->IDE adapter
ISA SMC Ethernet
As far as I can tell I disabled the on-board IDE and nothing is plugged into it yet it still errors out after setupsa.exe loads.
Perhaps it's a driver issue?
The one I grabbed was a win 3.1 installer but I'm positive there was one for pure dos as well.
