Hello... Remember me? I'm the guy who's having problems running System V/AT at 10MHz. Well, the response to my previous posting has been quite nice and persuaded me to do a bit of "Creative Hardware Reconfiguring" to determine which board was causing me problems. After getting rid of a number of small problems that added up to make the picture totally confusing, I think that the problem *is* my Extended Memory card. I've been able to run in 1MB at 10MHz for a while (about an hour) without any crashes, so I guess the card might be the problem (I don't want to run for too long with only 1MB because there are just too many things that won't run in 1MB -> compress, some compilations, etc). However, I have heard from Steve Benz (mrspock@hubcap.clemson.edu) that there might be some problems using some memory cards with Microport SV/AT (something about DMA access to cards with no upper limit of addressability?!?). Therefore I would appreciate it a lot if some people out there could: 1) tell me what brand of memory card they are using (at > 10MHz). 2) tell me what they have heard about memory card problems with SV/AT... Send me mail, I will summarize to the net.
