I simply quit with an "*** Error code 1". One possible cause for this like of problem is failure of the linker to handle linking two or more object file with the _same name_. At one point in the X386 development, drivers for each of the chipsets were named driver.c. If you rename the files (e.g. drivera.c driverb.c), the linker won't die trying to link them. Rich
