ALWAYS TECHNOLOGIES IN2000 SCSI CONTROLLER
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory
Classic.
Tech Notes: This controller uses reserved memory address C0000-CBFFF.
The report indicated that it was necessary to change the SCSI
controller I/O address from 220 to 110 or the system wouldn't boot with
the controller and the Intel memory board installed at the same time.
BERNOULLI BOX INTERFACE BOARD BY IOMEGA
BERNOULLI BOX INTERFACE BOARD BY IOMEGA
Compatible with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic.
TROUBLESHOOTING: Try swapping the order of the Bernoulli and EMM.SYS
device drivers. If you are using the QUIKMEM2 RAM disk software, be
sure the Bernoulli device driver is loaded BEFORE QUIKMEM2.
Check to be sure you have the correct adapter board for your machine
type:
>> The PC3 or PC3B boards are for PC and XT systems.
>> The PC2 or COMBO boards are for AT systems.
In some cases the PC3 or PC3B boards will work in AT systems until you
load the bus, but remember they are using an adapter board that is not
designed for an AT system. So if the Intel memory board works without
the Bernoulli board installed, they'll need to replace the Bernoulli
board.
ROM ADDRESS: The Bernoulli board is configurable from C0000 to E0000
with jumpers on the board. The 8K ROM is needed only if booting from
the Bernoulli.
ASC-88 SCSI ADAPTER
ASC-88 SCSI Adapter by Advanced Storage Concepts
Compatible with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. Has switch
settings for reserved memory addresses. The factory default setting is
CC00. The following jumper settings are as listed from their manual,
Appendix B:
A16 A15 A14 ADDRESS
0 0 0 = C000
0 0 1 = C400
0 1 0 = C800
0 1 1 = CC00 factory default setting
1 0 0 = D000
1 0 1 = D400
1 1 0 = D800
1 1 1 = DC00
If you are setting the Intel memory board for expanded memory, use the
EXPF or EXPL parameters to relocate the expanded memory page frame
before or after the ASC memory address.
CUMULUS SILHOUETTE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE ADAPTER
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with current Above Boards, Matched
Memory Classic, and the discontinued Above Board 286 and PS/286.
Tech Note: This board may use I/0 address 208. If there's a conflict,
remove the Cumulus board, and change the Intel memory board I/0 address
to something other than 208. Then re-install the Cumulus board.
COPYII PC DELUXE BY CENTRAL POINT
*CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched
Memory Classic.
Tech Notes: Default I/O port address for the CopyII PC Deluxe board
conflicts with Above Boards. Jumpers for Deluxe:
J6 has two jumpers: LEFT RIGHT I/O ADDRESS
---- ----- -----------
UP UP 268h-26Fh default
DOWN DOWN 3E8h-3EFh
UP DOWN 368h-36Fh
DOWN UP 2E8h-2EFh
J7 controls DMA port: UP = channel 1 default
DOWN = channel 3
DATAMATIC SCSI HARD DISK CONTROLLER
Compatible with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic.
Tech Notes: The factory default I/O address is 330. Alternate choices
are 320, 328, 330, and 338. The factory default for ROM address is set
to D800 using 16K. Alternate ROM addresses are C800, CC00, D000, and
D800 configured by jumpers on the board.
EXPANZ!
Disk compression product, a half-length AT-bus board that contains an
ASYC with a disk compression algorithm. The algorithm works like
PKZip; however, it appears to be a more efficient algorithm.
This product uses a 16K reserved page frame. The board can be set to
the following addresses:
CC00 (default) DC00 EC00
C800 D800 E800
C000 D400 E400
D000 E000
If the customer is on a system that permits access to the E000 range
(XTs), set the "Expanz!" board to a 16K boundary in this range. If the
user is on a system that does not decode E000 (ATs), then EMM will
require a page frame parameter.
FUTURE DOMAINS SCSI CONTROLLER
*CUSTOMER REPORTS* of LIMITED COMPATIBILITY with Above Boards and
Matched Memory Classic depending on the version of the SCSI controller.
Symptom: With an Intel memory board in the system the hard drive would
time out. Removing the EMM.SYS driver DID NOT HELP. The SCSI board
had -02 on the assembly number on the front of the board.
Solution: Customer tried the newer version of the SCSI board, -03, and
it worked fine.
PLUS HARDCARD IN THE IBM AT
*CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched
Memory Classic.
NOTE: The Plus Hardcard BIOS ver 4.2 is INCOMPATIBLE with the 6MHz IBM
AT BIOS dated 1-10-84. The solution is to replace the BIOS with a
later revision of the IBM BIOS.
IBM 5.25 EXTERNAL FLOPPY CTRL AND LOTUS 2.0
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory
Classic.
One customer reported that his IBM Model 30/286 locked up whenever he
accessed the 5.25 drive in Lotus 2.0. The problem disappeared when he
switched to Lotus ver 2.01.
KODAK 6.6MB FLOPPY CONTROLLER
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory
Classic. This controller has a ROM that uses memory from D000h -
D1FFFh or D200h - D3FFFh.
KONAN DISK CONTROLLER
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with current Above Boards and
Matched Memory Classic.
Tech Note: This is a 16-bit disk controller board with 16K ROM at a
switchable address (C000, C800, CC00, D000, D400, D800, DC00). One
customer reported his AT-Clone wouldn't boot when the discontinued
Above Board 286 was installed with this board. Upgrading to the Above
Board Plus allowed it to work with both boards in 16-bit mode.
Konan ph: 602-345-1300
LCS 6610F FLOPPY CONTROLLER
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of INCOMPATIBILITY with Above Boards in one computer.
Long Shine Computers XT hangs on boot with this board and an Above
Board, even when the EMM.SYS driver is not installed. Customer
switched to a Western Digital disk controller using the LCS BIOS and it
worked.
LCS controller handles two internal floppies, has a BIOS that can
reside at either CC000 or CA000, I/O ranges 370-37F.
NEC T-128 SCSI HOST ADAPTER
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with current Above Boards and
Matched Memory Classic. This adapter has 8Kb of ROM and its location
is configured by switches on the card.
AVAILABLE ADDRESSES: C800
CC00
D800
DC00
PLUS PASSPORT SYSTEM - CLASSIC BUS
*CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory
Classic.
Tech Notes: This is a removable 20 or 40Mb hard disk system that
connects to an adapter board in the computer. System is available for
both Classic bus and Micro-channel machines. Has a 16K read-ahead
buffer.
PC Adapter: (selecting the controller number determines other values)
CONTROLLER BIOS I/O
NUMBER ADDRESS ADDRESS
0 C800 320H-323H
1 CA00 324H-327H
2 CC00 328H-32BH
3 CE00 32CH-32FH
Uses DMA channel 3 and IRQ 5
Instructions for changing jumper settings are located on page 7 of the
Adapter Installation Guide
SEAGATE ST11M/ST11R ST412 INTERFACE CONTROLLER
**FIELD REPORTS** of compatibility with current Above Boards.
Tech Notes: This is an 8-bit controller board that can configure its
reserved memory usage via jumper block W1 (located just about in the
middle of the board). The jumper settings are:
╒═════════════════╤════════════════╤═════════════╕
│ Jumper Setting │ BIOS Address │ Port Address│

*Do not use in AT-Class systems!
TALLGRASS HARD DISK MODEL TG-6180
Compatible with Above Boards and the Matched Memory Classic.
Tech notes: If the customer is having problems installing our drivers
with the INSTALL program we used to ship, have them do a manual
software installation or use the SOFTSET program (SOFTSET replaced
INSTALL quite a long time ago).
TECHMAR QUICK 60 TAPE BACK-UP
*Field report* of compatibility with Above Boards.
Tech Notes: This tape back-up board has a ROM at C000, don't know
ending address.
WESTERN DIGITAL 1002A-FOX???
*FIELD REPORT* of compatibility with Above Boards.
WD1002A-FOX001 2 floppy controller for AT (No ROM)
WD1002A-FOX002 4 floppy controller for AT (No ROM)
WD1002A-FOX003 2 floppy controller for XT (ROM)
WD1002A-FOX004 4 floppy controller for XT (ROM)
These controllers will run anything from a 360k to a 1.44m floppy,
hence the ROM on the XT controllers. The ROM default address is CC00-
CDFF. It can be move to CE00- CFFF or in the high E000 range (same two
offsets.)
WESTERN DIGITAL WD1007/WA2
Can cause system to not boot after installing AB, due to extreme length
of I/O read & I/O write lines on the controller board.
