I used it in a 386 to install 2.1.7 a few times. I then got my hands on an old 486dx/66 EISA-VL bus machine. I swapped over the cd and booted up the boot flop, went through the visual config, and it saw the cd rom but didnt have time to install, so left the machine sitting at the first screen after all the probes. I ended up turning off the machine and again booted it a few days later, it saw the cd etc and I again got hung up and didnt get to install and had to power down again. Well finally had a few uninterupted hours to use up and went to install BSD last night. Well for some strange reason the probe will not recognize the cd anymore. Its set on address 340 as far as I know, since thats what Ive used for it in the past. It works fine in dos, but one thing I did do a few days ago was change the IRQ of my network card from 5 to 10. Now this cd drive was given to me, no docs, just card, cable and drive. I plugged it in and away I went for dos, but for BSD I had to hunt to find out what I/O addrs it might be on and 340 was the one that worked. Now because ed0 is now on irq 10 could this be causeing the probe not to find the scd0 now? I would imagine even though the cdu31a is scsi(?) that it would use an IRQ also? Might it have been setup to use IRQ 10? The controller card has jumpers but darned if I know what to set them at or what they are currently set for, all I know is i/o addrs 340. Anywhere I can get info on the card, or failing that I guess I'll have to change my network card to another IRQ and see if that works. Any info appreciated. kwoody@citytel.net
