Hi Ron,

I know one possile answer has been posted already, but I did some
"re-google-search" (my word for doing research on google.com) and found
several references to the 1f0-1f7 range in the I/O dealing with the Hard
Disk controller.  This may be totally unrelated, but a simple test would be
to either try to load the drivers from the original CD or floppy, or
download the drivers to a different location on the hard drive and try to
load them from there.  Good luck!
