Does anyone have S3 video and Adaptec 1542C? Date: 17 Oct 1993 20:24:46 GMT Organization: University of Michigan Engineering, Ann Arbor Lines: 26 Distribution: world Message-ID: <29s9me$d6u@zip.eecs.umich.edu> Reply-To: khushro@niagara.eecs.umich.edu (Khushro Shahookar) NNTP-Posting-Host: niagara.eecs.umich.edu If you have the fatal combination of S3 video and adaptec 1542C, please help by answering the following: What operating system do you use, how do you install it, and do you have any problems with it? I am still interested in *BSD, and not Linux as far as possible. I just discovered that NetBSD-0.9 won't work with XS3. The Tiny 386BSD install floppy won't work with 1542C. I know that the 1542C problem has been solved in patchkit 0.2.3. So is a patched Tiny BSD install disk available that works with 1542C? I couldn't find it in the patchkit. Also, is the 386BSD + pk0.2.3 patched binary distribution available anywhere? If not, then does the un-patched 386BSD-0.1 work with 1542C? I had heard that the 1542C problem was a boot block problem, which should be solved by installing from a patched TinyBSD boot floppy, so after that, the un-patched 386BSD-0.1 should work. Is this true? If not, then how do we apply the patches? How does FreeBSD work with XS3 and 1542C? -- Copyright KHUSHRO SHAHOOKAR, $0.02 khushro@eecs.umich.edu Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor
