- I'm attempting to get a WD1006-VMM2 and an AHA1542B to work in the same
- system. The system boots off the WD. The 1542 has only one disk and
- it is at 0:0. The 1542 also currently has all the default settings,
- with the exception of the floppy controller is set at the secondary
- address.
-
- I don't have a manual for the WD, so I'm not 100% sure I don't have a
- problem with the port adress, DMA, and interupts.
-
- My currents symptoms are that Esix works like a champ. No problems what
- so ever. However, DOS 5.0 is another story. ASPI4DOS loads, but
- typically locks after a couple commands. It almost always locks if I
- try to load MSCDEX 2.21.
-
- Since my only known state was the 1542, I attempted to use other DMA
- channels and interupts. IN anything other than the default, Esix
- refused to boot.
-
- If anyone has any experience in getting two controllers to work in the
- same system, please send me email so I may ask more detail questions.
- Any advice on how to troubleshoot the problem will also be well
- received.
-
- thanks,
