I would like to know if ISC 2.0.2 will support 16mb ram. I tried it in a 386 25mhz and it would reboot after it began to boot from the HD. About that time is when it puts the information of how much memory is in the computer and how much is usable. I did the same thing under MSDOS and it booted. I know that MSDOS does not care about anything past 640k unless a memory manager is resident but I was just trying to briefly verify that the system did work under some type of OS. If anyone out there has any information about this, I really would appreciate anything on this subject. I really do like this news group. I hope that I can give just a little info back. Please direct all replies to email ellis@epc.wpg.com . Thanks in advance for the information.

The answer to your question is yes, ISC 2.0.2 and 2.2 can support 16MB of ram. The problem you are running into is probably one of the following: 1. a MB problem 2. a MB configuration problem 3. a conflict with a card on the bus -- Conor P.

It could also be the printer. ISC will continually reboot if your printer is connected to the computer but not turned on. Anyone have any idea why?

Anyone have any idea why? No, but I had some strange lock ups for a while. It turned out that when the printer was turned off (being connected to the ISC machine and turned on) the system locked up until the printer was turned back on (this is ISC 2.2). My printer has a built in fan, so I don't mind leaving it on (much...) but it is weird. No idea why it happens. -- Grant DeLorean (grant@bluemoon) {osu-cis!n8emr!, nstar!}bluemoon!grant /* So just remember, if a weirdo in a blue suit comes up and offers you some DOS, just say NO!

It's said in the ISC 2.2 release notes (known Bugs): With some Multi-I/O Cards, Interactive will reboot. Theres a simple solution ! Buy another Parallel I/O Card !! Mfg.
