I have 2, (old?) used, AST 4 port cards. (P/N 202013.) Board One is marked CC-832/AT (S/N 8558) with 1 8 position DIP SW Board two is marked CC-322 (S/N 21413), with 3 DIP SW's, (ASSY. REV. B) I have the switch settings for board 2, but don't know what the pinouts are for the 37 pin 'D' connector on the back of the card (for either card). Looking at the card, I only see 5 1489's and 3 1488's. That doesn't look like enough to support full hand shake (modem) I/O on 4 ports. Is there something in/on the cable? I really would like to use this card with the new FAS 2.08 driver and get some ports on my machine. If anyone knows what should be connected to the 37 pin connector, please email me the pinouts and any other info that would be helpfull. -- rbt@tous.UUCP Robert B.

The number stamped in the middle of the card is CC-832. The P/N is 202013. I've had no problems using this card under SCO Xenix 386 2.3.3 or ISC 2.0.2 other than the problem with using IRQ 2 (9) with FAS 2.08. I have the full documentation and manuals for my AST board. I'll e-mail you the pinout of the cable when time permits. // JCA /* **--------------------------------------------------------------------------* ** Flames : /dev/null | What to buy? ** ARPANET : crash!pnet01!jca@nosc.mil | EISA or MCA? ** INTERNET: jca@pnet01.cts.com | When will the bus wars end? ** UUCP : {nosc ucsd hplabs!hp-sdd}!crash!pnet01!jca **--------------------------------------------------------------------------* */
