I know the feeling of getting bounced around Intel. Anyway, make sure
that your tape drive is set for IRQ 5, DMA 1, and I/O 300-301. Intel
claims to support a lot more tape controller/driver combos in 4.0,
unlike 3.2 which only supports the Wangtek PC-36.
However for anyone in future I *DO* recommend buying the floppies, since
they are more generally portable and cost less. Get 5.25" if possible.
