Deitch & Associates, San Diego, CA. Date: Sat, 1 Jun 1996 10:52:35 GMT Lines: 32 I am having a problem using a DigiBoard PC/8e. The cards are brand new PC/8e cards and are rev G. In the manual it states "This board requires Digi BIOS revision 4.0 or greater" The board seems to initialize just fine, dmesg sees it and displays the ports on it. I can use stty to set the initial and lock state parameters and users can dial in on it. After using the port for a little while, the time varies, the port hangs. When I try to do a kill -1 on the process I get: dgb0: port x: timeout on FEP command. The man page says this is a hardware problem. The Digi supplied diags run fine and report no problem with the card. My questions are: 1) Can this also be a result of using an older BIOS? 2) What is the revision of the BIOS that comes with the 2.1R dgb driver? 3) Is there a newer release of the driver? The one I have is the one that comes with 2.1R. 4) If there is a newer driver, where do I get it from? Thanks for any help, Jim -- INTERNET: jdeitch@jadpc.jd.com UUCP: cg57!jadpc!jdeitch
