Do you have a SCSI Bus Master host adapter?  If yes, that's your problem.
The ISA bus can only do DMA into a 16MB address space.  That's your
limit.  I *think* that if you don't have a bus master card, you 
can use > 16 MB on an ISA bus system.  This is one reason to pay
the extra bucks for a EISA bus system with EISA hard disk controller.

This problem can be solved by DMAing into a temporary buffer in the
lower 16MB range then transfering the data into the final destination
buffer.  I think that some vendors offer this option; it might
have to be enabled and a new kernel rebuilt.  I don't think ISC
uses the intermediate buffer option (at least up to 2.2.1), SCO
I think supports using the intermediate buffer.

Yes, but most people (at the time of purchase) don't know if the hardware
is going to be documented or not, which makes this sort of voting impossible

Do you have MST's enhanced XL driver?  If not, call them and ask for it.
The new driver supports two diskette drives + 1 tape drive, as well as 120MB
extra long tapes.  Works fine for me!

I can't answer that question, never having tried it.  If it doesn't use
DMA, or the timer, it should be workable unless there is some other gotcha.
One has to specify the i/o port RANGE when setting up something that must
access hardware, if the docs for the hdwe don't give the start and end
port number, one has to guess.  Try giving the ending i/o port address
equal to the starting port plus 16 for starters - thats what I had to
do to get a network card to work.

Also, if dual-ported RAM is involved, that also has to be correctly
specified in the installation procedure.

It sounds good in theory.  I guess that's not what is happening, though,
since ESIX (and others?) are available for under $700, while DELL is
still up around $1300.

Hi Jason,

Trident was kind enough to provide me with a complete technical reference for
their 8900 chip when I asked for one last year. It costs a whopping $8 bucks.
The manual will provide you with everything you need to write a driver for the
8900 chip along with 80x86 assembler examples to get you started.

They're BBS number was (415) 691-1016 when I last checked.

Hope this helps.

The AHA1740 is a completely new product. It has several concepts in common
with the AHA1540, but it's by no means just another version of the 1540.

2.40 is the latest version of u386mon released.
A typo in the release leads one to think 3.4 was the version.

2.4 will not work with ther SCO 3.2v4 environment due to
kernel header file changes.

PD - PUBLIC DOMAIN.  If an author puts software in the Public Domain he
loses all rights and control.

Freely distributable copyrighted software means the author retains the
right to control the distribution.

If your software is PD you lose any copyright.  And if you have a
copyright on the software it is not PD!

I would be careful not to describe your software as PD if you want to
retain control.

This brings up an interesting point. I have absolutely no need for Merge since
I have several machines networked together here, one of which runs OS/2 2.0
(which runs all MSDOS programs as well). 

Could you or someone else explain exactly what is involved in removing Merge
from Dell SVR4? The last time I tried disabling the Merge entries in
/etc/conf/sdevice.d, I got quite a few unresolved external references to 
Merge things when rebuilding the kernel. 

This was only a halfhearted attempt, so I'm not surprised it failed. I'm just 
curious if anyone else has carried it to completion and can detail the process.

Oh my, I'm having the same problems with a 486 (ISA) with 24 MB
installed running ISC 3.0. The ROM BIOS, Manifest, etc. recognize
the full 24 MB but ISC only recognizes 16 MB. 

I see options under konfig:memory size for up to 64 MB but according
to the documentation this only affects the size of various buffers,
etc.  and all available memory is used.

I would like to understand the complications: can you/somebody supply
details?

I need to get a 12-port card working under SCO unix System V R3.2 Version
4. Here is some information about the card:
Global View 12-port Intelligent Adapter: 80186CPU , 6 DARTUS, 12 R-232
serial ports with DB25 connectors. JP2 is for IRQ setting (default is 10),
JP3 is for wait-state setting (default is 0), and SW1 is for base address
setting (default is 0x300).

Following the instructions, I load the installation program to the hard
drive, then run the program in single user mode:
./gviiop

According to the instruction, the screen should come out an menu for
further installation. However, I only got a line saying:
installation stop.

I tried to set IRQ as 4, base address 0x3f8, then 3 and 0x2fe. It was just
the same. I called the company, but no one answer the phone. I know this
is not a standard card. But if you happen to use the same kind of card.
I'd like to know :
(1) How do you get it working?
(2) Is there a problem on the installation program?
(3) What IRQ number and base address should I use?

Thank you very much for any help.

I'm trying to get a "real" emacs to use with my sco open desk top 2.0.
I've been using the character one and it is horrible.  I'm hoping for
scroll bars and stuff like that.  I downloaded epoch41 (emacs on 
steroids) and it was no a pretty sight.  Does anyone know of an
emacs that has been setup on SCO's Unix (3.2.2 or 3.2.4?)

Thanks, Please send responses to peter@kellner.com and I will
very happily summarize what I get a post that.

  My company is thinking about buying one of the Gateway 486 machines to
run SCO Unix/ODT on.  They would like to get a 33/66 MHz version (ISA bus
only, probably using SCSI as opposed on onboard IDE drive).  The system
is supposed to be shipping in about 1 month.  Gatewya's older system is a
25/50 MHz version, ISA or EISA bus, which I've heard about people running
SCO on already.
  If anyone else has investigated the Gateway 486 systems, I'd appreciate
hearing about it.
