I am having trouble getting DOOM to run on my 386DX25 (slow, I know...).
I couldn't get it to work at all, until today, when I discovered that if I
turn off the turbo on my computer, it will load up okay.  With turbo on,
it either locks up after going into protected mode, or dumps some kind of
register information onto the screen.

My question(s):
1. WHY? (how can it work with turbo off, but not on?)
2. Is there anything I can do to get it to work in turbo?  If so, HOW?

Thanks!!!
