This is interesting. I bought my 6300 in September. One of the salesmen at
the computer store told me that PC Storyboard absolutely, positively, would
not work on a 6300. However, idle curiosity prompted me to try it anyway.

Lo and behold, it WORKS! I successfully started Story Teller, and ran the 
demonstration that comes with the software. I also created a few pictures 
with Picture Maker just to be sure it wasn't some quirk of the story teller. 
Haven't tried Picture Taker or Story Editor yet, but everything appears to 
be working just like on an IBM computer. 

I am running MS-DOS 3.1, but I don't remember what version of the BIOS I'm 
running. Maybe the BIOS has been improved over your version? Certainly a 
different version of DOS wouln't account for this, would it? I promise I 
haven't altered either Storyboard or DOS in any way other than a couple of 
patches to COMMAND.COM that I saw in "PC" magazine.  What gives here?
