|WARNING!! There may be some serious problems using WP 5.0 under VP/ix!

|I just ran into this today, haven't come across a resolution yet, but be
|forewarned: Having just installed VP/ix, I went to install WP 5.0. (11-15)
[... tale of freezup and subsequent death of Xenix system deleted ...]
Just in case it looks to you like I'm saying the combination of WP 5.0 and
VP/ix turned my motherboard into a PROM burner, no, I am not saying that.
Only that WP's freezeup under VP/ix contributed to the ultimate death of the
3216.
Current working hypothesis holds that the 3216 (the third I've been shipped,
and the first one on which I could initialize the HD) had an incipient flaw,
perhaps a loose connection, that the power-down/power-up cycle triggered.
I'm waiting impatiently for Wyse to come up with a fourth (and FINAL!) machine
before I reach any conclusions; though I am pricing an equivalent HP system...
