[comp.sys.tandy] Tandy 6000 3rd 3-port board Xenix 3.02.01

     First, I want to thank everyone that responded to my question
regarding a third 3-port board on a Tandy 6000, especially to Gordon
who was able to answer my question about switch settings:

     1st card needs to have switch 1 and only 1 set.
     2nd card needs to have switch 2 and only 2 set.
     3rd card needs to have switch 3 and only 3 set.

     This works using Xenix 3.02.01 (3.02.00 which has a mandatory
patch included with the Xenix 3.02.00 configuration kit applied).

     It is of coarse necessary to make devices with mknod and entries in
/etc/ttys and /etc/inittab. But it works!

     I had assumed the switch was like the base address and would be
binary instead of one switch per card like it is. Thanks again!

It IS a binary port base address select, but I think you are selecting
base addresses but they aren't all together sequential.  I think that 
the switches you mentioned refer to 70, 60, and 40, or something like 
that.
