TITLE: Iomega Bernoulli Drive with DR Multiuser DOS 5.1
DOCUMENT ID#: FYI-M-1912
DATE: 26OCT92
PRODUCT: DR Multiuser DOS
PRODUCT VERSION: 5.1
SUPERSEDES:
DR Multiuser DOS is compatible with the Iomega Bernoulli Drive. The
following describes what hardware and software have been tested.
Compatibility is not assured with other Bernoulli drive models or
versions of device drivers.
Hardware: Bernoulli Transportable Drive + 90 meg cartridges
Iomega PC2B/50 Host Adapter
386/33 DX, standard VGA, IDE fixed drive, 1.2 and 1.44
floppy drives
Software: DR Multiuser DOS, ver 5.1
Iomega DOS OAD Utilities ver 1.01
Iomega RCD Utilities ver 7.02
Results of compatibility testing:
1. DR Mulituser DOS recognizes the 90 meg Bernoulli drive when
initiated as a secondary drive using the Iomega device driver
DOSOAD.SYS.
2. The Bernoulli OAD Install program runs under Multiuser DOS.
Any existing CONFIG.SYS file is modified to load the DOSOAD
drivers. The DEVICE= commands which load these drivers must
be copied to the DR Multiuser DOS file CCONFIG.SYS in order
for the Bernoulli drive to initiate under Multiuser DOS.
2. The Iomega device driver RCD.SYS ver 7.02 is NOT compatible
with DR Multiuser DOS. Upgrade to the OAD driver.
2. For smaller Bernoulli drives, the RCD drivers ver 4.x are
compatible with Multiuser DOS.
3. Mulituser DOS cannot be loaded on the bootable Bernoulli
drive.
4. Care should be taken in selecting the base port address for
the Iomega Host Adapter. This address should not conflict
with any other devices such as a multiport card or network
card.
5. Jumpers on the PC2B/50 Host Adapter should be set to disable
ROM addressing. Disabling ROM addressing will provide more
usable application memory and avoid possible conflict with
network cards.
6. Host Adapter PC2B/50 uses hardware address IRQ 5 by default.
This is the same IRQ assigned to LPT2 for a 2nd parallel
printer port. The only alternate IRQ setting for the PC2B/50
is IRQ 7, which is normally assigned to LPT1.
To avoid address conflicts, it is recommended to keep the
setting of IRQ 5 and not install any LPT2 port on the
Multiuser DOS system.
If a network card is set to IRQ 5 it's hardware address must
be changed to avoid conflict.
