Everything I'm using at the moment is as shipped on the CD-ROM. I'll try
the latest fixes ASAP.

The card is a Tseng Labs ET4000/W32P, model TPO-32PCIV.
My card currently has 1MB installed.
The BIOS id string is at C000:0065 and is as follows
"Copyright(c)1988 Tseng Laboratories, Inc. 05/17/95 V8.00N"

I haven't come across the debug technique you refer to above.
Is it in the manuals?

Thanks,
