I've just installed SCO UNIX 3.2 with the Locus DOS merge on a
386. Since the DOS Merge allows direct connection of devices to
DOS, I thought it would be clever of me to run my Token-Ring card
under DOS. My IBM Token-Ring card is set up for Interrupt level
of 2 and uses ram at D8000-DBFFF.
When I start DOS using the 'dos +a..2.D8000-DBFFF.' command, and
I have the token-ring driver statements in my config.sys, the
drivers load and start but cannot locate the card.
This led me to notice that when the token-ring card is in the
system, I get a 'WARNING: serial: interrupt vector collision' in
the hardware config startup message when I boot up Unix. It lists
a serial device at an address 2F0-2F7 at an Interrupt Level of
14. When I remove the T-R card, the vector collision and the
serial device with a vector 14 disappear from the config. I have
changed the Interrupt level of the T-R card to 7, and the vector
problem and serial device at level 14 persist. The T-R card work
fine under normal DOS usage.
Does anyone know why Unix thinks my Token-Ring card is a serial
device at interrupt level 14, and more importantly, how to get
it to work under the Locus DOS Merge product?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
