I have found the answer
which has to do with the MB itself being too fast for EDO 60 ns simms. This
will vary from MB to MB despite the fact that most MBs now have PIPELINE
BURST CACHE (PBSRAM) which has access times of 4.5 ns to 8 ns. I've
replaced the simms with a 32 meg unbuffered 10ns dimm. All is well. The
install now goes from start to finish without a hitch. So if anyone gets "Bad
Fault in MS Dos extender", this is a memory speed mismatch between
external cache and main memory. Note: pbsram has simultaneous read and
write. Main mem does not.
