What a lead-in! ;) Given the recent outcome of the Lotus vs. Borland case
on copyright infringement (wherein the U.S. Supreme Court was split 4-4
with Justice John Paul Stevens recusing himself, thus letting stand the
appellate court ruling, which was in Borland's favour), what does this
really mean? [...]41_19Jan199611:03:[log in to unmask]

We are experiencing a problem with an HP7090 PC with Windows 95, an HP Deskjet
660C parallel printer and an Iomega parallel interface Zip Drive.  The problem
is as follows:  if the PC is turned off and either parallel device is left on
and connected to the PC when powered up again, the PC locks up in the boot
process, apparently stuck in its POST.  The symptoms are frozen keyboard,
scrambled video display and no disk drive activity.
The problem can be bypassed by either turning the peripheral device off then
back on before powering up the PC or by unplugging and replugging the device
before power up.
I am curious to know if this is a driver or BIOS Bug or if it is related to
Windows 95.  Any response would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you,
Ray
