No, not extraordinary installation script.
Yes, by chance, either immediately before or immediately after becoming
aware of A20 address line (wish I could remember order of events)
US Robotics software was re-installed, based on advice from a consultant
who was helping me with another Win95 problem: sometimes just after
modem disconnect, the PC would FREEZE cold.
The former, booting from separate partition.
Originally made an assumption that there was a connection between
Debian install and the A20-address-line error. That now seems wrong.
Seems like a vicious cycle of problems wholy within the Windows
partition. Thank you.
