The Apricot XEN-S 286 (called the XEN-i 286 for a short time) has a number of issues if you are trying to upgrade it to MS-DOS 5.0.

  1. ROM BIOS 1.2.16 and 1.2.17 continually re-boot, never actually getting to a DOS prompt.
  2. Solution: Until a new set of ROMs have been produced, 1.2.14 ROMs are a work-around.

  3. APRUMB.SYS hangs when loading.
  4. Solution: Upgrade to version 1.07 APRUMB.SYS, available on the Apricot Insight BBS.
