A few months ago, I tried to install uPort 2.3L on an IBM AT with a
MultiSync EGA card and monitor and could not get the thing to boot
off of the boot disk. I tried the same disk on my Compaq 386 with
Compaq EGA and it came up just fine. uPort 2.2U used to work fine on
the same computer. What gives??? A call into tech support didn't
give me an answer. I ended up re-installing 2.2U...
