Working on someone's ancient pcchips "computer from hell". I have
googled myself into every single tweak possible to remove
compatibility mode to no avail. (win95b)

Computer has numerous problems too long to detail here. My only
question: this protected mode driver is not even mentioned in the
bootlog.txt file, so no failure, no nothing... this may turn out to be
a bios setting which I am unable to change because i have "battery
failed" etc at bootup and running system defaults by default. Even
with a new battery. But that's another problem. Immediate question is
how can I get esdi_506.pdr to load, or to be even mentioned in the
bootlog?

thanks, eric

Yeah,

I've eben to that one already.


Bottom line is that esdi_506.pdr is not even mentioned the the
bootlog. That is strange, trying to find out how to invoke it.

I did a check and found two damaged sectors on hard drive. "Repaired"
them with hdd regenerator and now IBM drive fitness test program gives
it a clean bill of health. Reinstalled with win95a and i now have
protected mode drivers. Just fine.
