ACPI 2.0 support = disabled
ACPI APIC support = enabled

I'm using the 2-13-02 version. Given the byte length of the old and latest
being the same, are they really different?

My only thing with OS2APIC.PSD is I cannot use the /apic switch. Produces
a trap every time. I also have read that switch isn't necessary.

That makes two of us.

I'm using the FP6 version of both.

My situation is just the two little glitches previously mentioned which do 
not
affect the running of the system.  The system is otherwise stable and I 
don't
experience any freezes as you do. I just don't like the little annoyances 
and
would like to fix them. Maybe I have hardware issues.
