IBM 16/4 Token Ring / CD-Rom



PROBLEM - Customer can not use an IBM 16/4 adapter II 16-bit bus master Token Ring card and a Future Domain 8bit SCSI card with cd ROM attached at the same time because his DOS LAN requester will stop working under Windows 3.1

Machines AFFECTED - All VP-2 models
SOLUTION -

SOLUTION - The customer's configuration was not optimized to run DOS/Windows in a network environment with CD-ROM support.

NOTE: The SCSI card should have W1 + W2 jumpers connected so that its ROM is at address E800-EFFF. This setting yields the largest contiguous upper memory area.

A sample configuration follows



---------------------- CONFIG.SYS ------------------------
