- I suspect you have a 1742a (with floppy) and not a 1740 (no floppy).
-
- ISC 3.0 has a know problem with 1742's because they didn't exist when
- they wrote the "enhanced mode" driver. The floppy portion is confusing
- the driver. That is why it is complaining about interrupt 6 when you
- have it set to 11.
-
- I believe the fixdisk 3 for 3.0, solved this problem. However, they are
- now shipping 3.01 ($95 from 3.0, or free in you bought 3.0 "recently".)
