Dear Netlanders, What I have is a couple of wd8003 ethernet cards with no documentation. I want to use them to run pcroute and need to know some jumper information. The cards were used in a unknown configuration previously, so I can't trust the jumper settings. And worse they both seem to have their jumper settings set completely differently from one another. I need to set one of the cards to I/O address 0x280 and another to 0x2A0 . I also need to know what the interrupt jumper is. Although pcroute does not use interrupts, the card can not be set the same as anything else in the computer. I figure setting both to either 2,5, or 7 should suffice. I assume the w3 is the thin/thick jumper. Each of the cards have them set differently, so I don't know which is thick and which is thin ethernet. The install documentation mentions a AT-6MHz jumper for wait states, I am not sure of its location either. Any information any one has will be greatly appreciated. Below is my crude picture of the board. Please send mail directly rather than post. I am sure that everyone else saves (under lock and key) their docs. Thanks in advance, chuck smoko csmoko@relay.nswc.navy.mil |------------------------------------------------------------------|--- | wd8003 ethernet | | | | | | | w4 w3 |--- | - |--- | ||||| w1 - | Thin | - | | - | | - |- | - | | | | w5 | | | | | | | | | |||||| w2 |- |------------------------------------------------------------------ Thick

First of all, you need the SuperDisk - Diagnostics diskette, or you may not be able to configure at all (especially for non-default values). Anyway... W1 selects i/o base [pinsets 4-10] and wait states [pinset 2]. For 0x280, put jumpers on pinsets 4, 6, and 10. For 0x2A0, put jumpers on 6 and 10. Add a jumper to pinset 2 if running in a 6MHz IBM AT. W2 selects IRQ. Jumper on 11 for IRQ2, 9 for IRQ3, 7 for IRQ4, 5 for IRQ5, 3 for IRQ6, 1 for IRQ7. W3 is the thin/thick jumper. Remove the jumper for standard (thick). W4 is for version. Add a jumper for Ethernet version 1. W5 is for optional 300-meter no-repeater thin ethernet (vs. standard thin ethernet). Remove jumper for 300-meter. RAM buffer address is set only via software. The software also makes you re-enter IRQ (it wants to go back to the default of '3'). -- Alan Denney aland@informix.com {pyramid|uunet}!infmx!aland "She was wearing a pair of Clamdiggers that had obviously never been to a beach; and a halter top, that had been in a dryer, on high, for three weeks.
