I am having problems getting SCO TCP/IP with SCO UNIX 3.2.0 to work
using the Western Digital WD8003EB ethernet controller.
My configuration is as follows:
PC 386 AT compatible (25Mhz, INTEL motherboard)
Adaptec SCSI controller
8MB memory
SCO UNIX 3.2.0e
SCO TCP/IP 1.1.0b
The controller is configured as follows:
IRQ: 5 (also tried 2)
IO Address: 0x280
Buffer: 8K
Address: d0000
I have tried the jumper that selects a fixed 0x280 IO address in both
positions without seeing any difference. I use the DOS set-up utility
from Western Digital to set the parameters in the on-board ROM before
booting UNIX.
I can use WD8003E and WD8013E cards without problems and the same machine
when booted with DOS can use the ethernet controller okay.
The space.c file for the Western Digital UNIX driver mentions only
WD8003E and WD8003EBT cards. What is the difference between the EB and
EBT models? Should the WD8003EB card work at all?
Is there anyone out there who is successfully using one of these cards
with SCO UNIX?
Chris.

We use this ethernet controller successfully. The differences to your system are the release of the TCP/IP Runtime System: SCO TCP/IP Runtime 1.1.0h instead of SCO TCP/IP 1.1.0b and the configuration of the controller: IRQ: 2 instead of IRQ: 5 You should verify the jumper settings of you controller. The only change to the factory settings have to be the network cable jumpers. We use the AUI port and changed therefore only two jumpers. regards Dirk Twiehaus c/o Nixdorf Computer AG Abt.

I am using this card without problems. I am using IRQ 2, the B card does not support IRQ 5. The card must be configured with the setup disk under DOS before installing for SCO UNIX. -- Carl E.
