- The 3c503 (which i used to use. Now I use a wd8003e) requires a jumper to
- be set to place a memory buffer in RAM. You *MUST* make sure that
-
- 1) You have the RAM BASE IO enabled
- 2) You have it configured to the address that 386BSD *expects* it to be.
-
- for (1) you look at the card. For (2) you read the INSTALL.NOTES and look
- for the table describing the device configurations.
-
- As for using the AUI. I dont know, but there has been a bit of discussion
- here.
-
- Cheers.
