AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #0771 08-12-92
=============================================================================
AT&T UNIX AND AST SYSTEMS
PROBLEM: Cannot boot with AT&T UNIX System V/386 Release 4.0 Version
2.1.
CAUSE: AT&T UNIX interprets an SMC floppy controller as a 82077
controller when in fact it is a 37C65. This puts the 37C65
part into an invalid mode causing a "panic error".
SYSTEMS
AFFECTED: All systems using an SMC floppy controller.
SOLUTION: AT&T only supports AT&T machines with AT&T UNIX. Therefore,
AST cannot support the Operating System and recommends that
customers use SCO UNIX System version 3.2.4, Microport SVR4 or
other upcoming UNIX's which will support AST systems.
