My system is an 386 with 387 at 25Mhz 8Mb (Chicony Board) and Xenix 2.3.3
IRQ 3 : Microsoft Mouse
IRQ 4 : AST 4-Port Card
IRQ 5 : Wangtec 150Mb Streamer Adapter (0x300)
IRQ 6 : reserved for floppy drives
IRQ 7 : parallel Port
I wanted to add an WD8003 with IRQ 2 and Base-Adress 0x280 or 0x300 or
0x380 - but none of them work correctly - the system showed the wd-card
at IRQ 31, but ping, ftp,.. won`t work ....
Now I removed the parallel port and set the Streamer to IRQ7 and the
WD8003 at IRQ 5 with base-Adress 0x280 - now it works - but I need my
parallel Port ... and some very strange things happen whith CTS/RTS and
the AST-Card ... (as RTS/CTS is only possible with the FAS-driver I
use it ..)
Is there a possibility to set two of these boards to one IRQ or to set
one of these cards to IRQ2 (The streamer won`t work at IRQ2, too) ???
Ciao
Bernhard

One of my AST 4-port cards is set to IRQ2 and this works with FAS if you tell UNIX that it is on INT9 (look at the FAS docs). Note that this is for Interactive UNIX, but as long as Xenix itself is able to handle IRQ2/INT9 (don't know for sure) it should work there, too.

When I put put Archive tape drives into a Xenix system, I put them in on IRQ2. On a AT-style system, the IRQ2 line from the expansion bus goes into IRQ9 of the interrupt controllers. Through magic, you tell Xenix the card is on interrupt 25 (decimal). The 31 you see at boot is octal. 31 octal = 25 decimal. -- j |%|John Lawitzke, Dale Computer Corp., R&D |%|UUCP: uunet!mailrus!sharkey!dale1!jhl |%| or: uunet!frith!dale1!jhl Inquiring minds just wondering. |%|Internet: jhl@frith.egr.msu.edu

You can't get to IRQ2. That explains your problem. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP

The 31 you see at boot is octal. >31 octal = 25 decimal. What do you mean by 'telling Xenix' ? In the /usr/sys/config/master file Interrupts are denoted octal (31 is right). In the Xenix /usr/sys/io/sioconf.c file Interrupts are given in decimal (25). FAS und Xenix serial drivers can both be configured to use IRQ 9 (=2 on XT's). -- Karl-Peter Huestegge karl@robot.in-berlin.de Berlin Friedenau ..unido!fub!geminix!robot!karl
