- 'lo all.
-
- I have a M7856 console card/real-time clock card that any time I
- put it anywhere in my system, it causes a BUS-GRANT error. It's
- a real pain cause I don't have anything in my system but processor,
- memory, the front-of-the-computer console interface, and that
- card. Yet when I try to put that card anywhere in my computer, it
- makes the RUN lamp come on and stay on. Is the card fried or do I
- just have a bank of switches set wrong? (No manuals of course)
- I'm trying to sett it up for 9600,none,8,1 I don't really care about
- the clock, it can be on or off. I need to get it running though.
- Octal is fun but I wanna get the serial port running so I can use
- my lame-o IBM as a disk drive for it.
