        Thanks.

        In my 5x86 100MHz, about 1 minute...

        Of course not. UZIX doesn't have virtual terminals by now.
        You're wanting too much for now, Manuel... :)

        WHEN it hangs? What you see on screen?

        Ihihihihih... fMSX is fudeba... :)
        I tested it in fMSX-DOS 1.6b2, CJS 1.0b, TR GT, TR ST, ACVS 2++,
DDX 2.0 and others and it worked.
        There is no reason for UZIX hanging up because you have 512Kb RAM.
My GT has 512Kb RAM and doesn't crash when loading UZIX. Also, Daniel
Caetano has 4Mb RAM and UZIX doesn't crash with him. Giovanni has 1Mb RAM
and UZIX doesn't crash with him.
        I neved tried 512Kb RAM with fMSX-DOS... I'll do it. But I don't
believe it will crash UZIX. It's nonsense.

> Or does it just not work on fMSX?

        Works, but I noticed it becames instable... Even in CJS, UZIX is
more stable...
        Well... Emulators... Argh...
