Hi Rod,

I have added support for the detection of the 286 loadall opcode
(0F05h) and
the 386 loadall opcode (0F07h) to the PM int 6 handler in version
20070927.
The latest aeBIOS version is here

(2nd...)

Thanks, but it's still a 06. It probably would've been better to output the
cs:ip and code (or hex byte sequence) that's failing...

Thanks Steve,

I'm still having issues with int 40h, there is a partial fix in the
latest version.
