Greetings! We have a couple of Mylex 33MHz 386s running Interactive's UN*X. Occasionally, the console will hang in a strange state, graphics or somesuch. I'd really like to reset it from elsewhere, y'know? I hate to re-boot all the time. The console is a Relisys RE5154E EGA color, and the card is an AutoEGA from STB Systems. Also, we've a Western Digital WD8003E Ethercard Plus that also sometimes hangs. I'd like to be able to software reset that, too. I've tried the sequence: fd = open ("/dev/wd", O_RDWR); ioctl (fd, LDRESET, (char *) 0); only to have ioctl return "Invalid argument". I suppose it really wants some sort of parameter, but I've no idea what. LDRESET is only mentioned in passing in llc(7) of the "386/ix TCP/IP Guide". wd(7) doesn't mention board-level reset at all. Help! Danny -- Daniel S. Cox (seismo!gatech!itm!danny)
