I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO COULD
TELL ME HOW TO PROPERLY DO MY "SETUP" ON MY "AT". I HAVE RECENTLY
PURCHASED A 16 MHZ AT WITH A PACKARD-BELL PB8531VG VGA MONITOR AND
A PACKARD-BELL PBVGA CARD WITH 256K ON THE CARD. I HAVE 2 MEGS ON THE
MOTHERBOARD MADE UP OF 1MEG 100NS DRAMS IN BANK 0 (I THINK I NEED 2
MORE MEGS!!). THIS MEMORY THING IS ALSO FUNNY ON BOOT UP I GET 1664K??
THERE SHOULD THEN BE SOME MORE MEMORY SOMEWHERE ???OH WELL...
THE MANUAL WHICH CAME WITH THE COMPUTER IS TITLED ;
"NEAT-286 / 16 MHZ AT COMPATIBLE MOTHERBOARD / USER'S MANUAL ". IT DOES
HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF DETAILED INFORMATION ON ALL THE POSSIBLE
SETTINGS,BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM, AND NO
EXPLANATION AS TO THEIR OVERALL CORELLATION (IMPACT ON ONE ANOTHER).
I ALSO HAVE A SETUP PROGRAM FORM CHIPS TECHNOLOGIE, ITS TITLE IS;
"NEAT EVALUATION BOARD SETUP -VERSION 1.03 / COPYRIGHT CHIPS &
TECHNOLOGIE INC 1987", THIS LITTLE PROGRAM IS WAT I USE TO SET UP
MY CMOS. THERE IS ALSO AN AUTOMATIC SET UP, IT MIRRORS THIS PROGRAM
AND IS ALSO REFERED TO IN MY MANUAL! THIS PROGRAM JUST HAS A LITTLE
MORE TEXT TO IT!!, IT SETS UP THREE DIFFERENT CHIPS 82C206,82C211,
82C212 AND CAN SET UP THE SHADOW RAM FOR THE ROM AND THE VIDEO.
SO..WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS;
A) WHAT ARE THE SELECTIONS THAT I SHOULD CHOOSE FOR OPTIMUM
PERFORMANCE!! (I TRIED EVERYTHING A ZERO WAIT...HUMMM KABOOM!)
B) HOW CAN I GET OR FIND MORE INFORMATION ON THE CORRELATIONS OF
ALL THESE DIFFERENT BIT SETTINGS!! AND WHY WOULD I WANT A
SETTING RATHER THAN ANOTHER??
C) HOW CAN I GET IN TOUCH WITH CHIPS & TECHNOLOGIES FOR SOME
ADDITIONNAL INFORMATION, AND MAYBE AN UPGRADED VERSION OF THEIR
SETUP PROCEDURES (PHONE, FAX, BBS, ADDRESS)
D) ARE THERE ANY (USER FRIENDLY, UN-TECHY, ENGLISH OR FRENCH
BOOKS) THAT I COULD COMPREHEND
E) I THINK I'LL STOP HERE !!!!!!!! FOR NOW..........
I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD BE SO CURIOUS..BUT I THINK IM GETTING THE
HANG OF IT, SO THANKING EVERYBODY IN ADVANCE FOR ANY COMMENTS
I'LL LEAVE ...AND WAIT
JAIME SASTRE
p.s answer can be in english or french
no problem!!
