DOS ain't dead - Jemm386 v5.8 (Ctrl-Alt-Del issue)

Jemm386 v5.8 (Ctrl-Alt-Del issue) (Developers)

I wanted to share that I have a similar issue: I can't trust Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot my machines when using FreeDOS/HimemX/Jemm386 or FreeDOS/JemmEx.

I've tried all combinations of fastboot/altboot. At best a Ctrl-Alt-Del will cause my monitor to go into a crazy flicker error state, and then a repeated Ctrl-Alt-Del will work. But that's maybe 20% of the time. Usually, the machine does nothing but become unresponsive to further keyboard input.

I'm using an IBM PS/2 386 luggable: the P70 8573-121.

Right now I'm just using "reboot35.com" when I can (https://www.bttr-software.de/freesoft/boot.htm#bootutils). It works fine.
