My hardware is as follows: 386 + 387 @ 20 MHz no-name Asian motherboard with C&T chipset 8 MB RAM Adaptec 1542B SCSI/floppy controller + Maxtor LXT-340S + 5 1/4" + 3 1/2" multi-port I/O card (2 serial, 1 parallel, 1 unrecognizable 15-pin) EverView "PerfectView" Super VGA (Tseng 4000) Novell NE/2000 Ethernet controller Logitech mouse controller Installing from the floppy and subsequently booting from the hard disk yields: pc0<color> at 0x60 irq 1 on isa com1 at 0x3f8 irq 4 on isa com2 fifo at 0x2f8 irq 3 on isa fd0 drives 0: 1.2M, 1: 1.44M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa as0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa ne0 ethernet address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX at 0x300 irq 9 on isa npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa changing root device to as0a as0: attached tgt 0 <MAXTOR LXT-340S 6.57> winchester disk [...] (where `XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' is the right address). Weird stuff: NE/2000 is currently set to 0x300, IRQ *4*; at IRQ 2 it conflicts with the 3 1/2" disk drive. Otherwise, setting it to IRQ 2 yields the same results as above. The Ethernet controller does not work. I have tried a Western Digital 8013 (Elite16) controller, and it also shows up as `irq 9', at any setting (2, 4, 5, or 7). It doesn't work. Both Ethernet cards work fine under DOG. The one piece of equipment I don't have a manual for is the Adaptec. Questions: How do I get my Ethernet controller(s) to work? Does this require futzing with the Adaptec? (If so, I need to know exact jumper settings.) If you need any more info, just ask. -- \ / Charles Hannum, mycroft@ai.mit.edu /\ \ PGP public key available on request. MIME, AMS, NextMail accepted.
