I've had this. First I thought it was a virus, then I correlated it with
whenever I accidentally connected a Floppy Controller Cable or IDE cable
the wrong way round in my PC. Seems the BIOS didn't like the feedback. I
ran checks, no permanent damage was done...
Anyways, since this _post_ is 100% offtopic, I'll throw in a blatant plug
for PROM.BAT on my DOS page, it's basically a prompt based Screen title
bar, and uses ANSI.SYS. Every time a command is executed, the time, date
and Dos version appear at the top of the screen. So I know at a glance
whether something odd has happened to the date or time.
Get it from me via e-mail (it's very small), or from my DOS webpage.
