- Did you ensure:
- -) No overlapping address ranges, D0000 may be a little bit
- dangerous. (everyone believes it is free -- granted )
- -) Did you attach the card to a known working net
- (termination 2*50 Ohms, R58 A/U or C/U cable )
- -) no conflicting IRQs?
-
- Advice: Boot DOS, get EZsetup-disk and test your card with "diagnose".
- IT IS WISE, not to use the defaults and keeping out of
- any dangerous area. We ere successful with:
-
- -) soft setup
- -) IRQ 10 ( as IRQ 11 is often used by Adaptec )
- -) Address D8000
-
- AND edit space.h accordendly!!!! Recompile
-
- There were declaration in we.c like "struct ring xxx". I propose
- to declare them volatine, as they reference shared memory
- between Ethernet controller and CPU.
