I found out the program fails on a Dell XPS T500 (P3 500 Mhz) and Dell XPS 700r
(P3 700 Mhz) booting directly to MS-DOS that comes with Win98se.  It works fine on
a Gateway ~500 Mhz and Compaq with Celeron ~400 Mhz.  Any chance someone can try
it on a Dell machine?  Do you need to know hardware chip set or something?
