Description:
Q.   Why do I get unexpected interrupt 0A as soon as I call
     TD386?
A.   This indicates that there is a hardware or device driver
     incompatability.  Interrupt 0A is being generated as a result
     of this hardware/software.  In the virtual 8086 mode of the 80386,
     Interrupt 0A is generated by the CPU when an invalid task state
     segment is encountered.  TD386 is unable to determine whether the
     CPU generated the error, or if it was generated by the hardware.
     Therefore, to prevent making the situation worse, TD386 terminates
     itself, and prints the "UNEXPECTED INTERRUPT" message.
     If you have a Microsoft Bus Mouse make sure that you have
     set the jumpers correctly.  The jumper should be set to
     number 5 for an AT type machine, including any 80386
     machine with an AT bus.  If the jumper is incorrectly set
     you will receive this error message.  Try changing the
     jumpers until the error goes away.
