Well, after the long struggle, (can ya hear them violins?) the trouble
we've been having with the 386 box has been resolved. Somebody on the net
suggested the BIOS might be the trouble (ie the pheonix BIOS). Turns out
to be the case: we now have the AMI bios, and the machine is humming along
nicely now. For those interested, here is the configuration now:
Intel 386 motherboard, 25 Mhz cpu
4 Meg Ram
250 Meg Priam hard drive (ESDI)
4 serial ports
Monochrome console (monitor....)
The drive is configured as having half the number of cylinders but twice the
heads as it really does. The Priam BIOS on board the DTC controller looks
after converting the XENIX addresses to physical addresses.
The machine has been up for two days, and I hope to have it on line as the
'new' aimed by the weekend.
To all those who sent their suggestions via mail or news: Thanks!
Cheers,
Nick.
