Using UBCD 5.0b12 USB (several usb sticks).
Machine is Lenovo X61. Updated to latest BIOS.
When ever I attempt to boot the FreeDos 1.33 I get the invalid Opcode at: 0003 0001 0202 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
I have tried both the raw addition and the bigraw addition and it always fails with the same Opcode

Ideas?
EDIT: Just tested same USB stick and ubcd install on a Toshiba Tecra M7 and it is working like a champ on the M7 (freedos is booting as well as other applications). On the Lenovo X61 I could not boot Freedos nor the Drive Fitness Test or the Seagate Disk Test tools (those would just sit at init disk). Perhaps need to upgrade the syslinux and mem kernel?
EDIT 2: It seems that Lenovo machines have a real hard time with the floppy emulation. Does anyone have a idea why this may be? Is there something I could do to help pinpoint why?
