- I have a 25 MHz DTK FEAT 2506 (or something like that). I run
- SCO Unix / Xsight with no problems. I have an ESDI WD10007
- card and a Micropolis 1664 hard disk. I have no problems
- whatsoever under Unix. When I run under MS Windows or DOS
- occcasionally I hang for almost exactly 60 seconds (sometimes
- with an error message indicating a disk drive problem) and if I just
- wait everything work fine after the 60 second wait....
-
- I have replaced IO cards, checked interrupts, and tried several
- different versions of proms to fix the problem, but have
- kept the originals.
