TITLE: Iomega Bernoulli Drive with DR Multiuser DOS 5.1 DOCUMENT ID#: FYI-M-1912 DATE: 26OCT92 PRODUCT: DR Multiuser DOS PRODUCT VERSION: 5.1 SUPERSEDES: DR Multiuser DOS is compatible with the Iomega Bernoulli Drive. The following describes what hardware and software have been tested. Compatibility is not assured with other Bernoulli drive models or versions of device drivers. Hardware: Bernoulli Transportable Drive + 90 meg cartridges Iomega PC2B/50 Host Adapter 386/33 DX, standard VGA, IDE fixed drive, 1.2 and 1.44 floppy drives Software: DR Multiuser DOS, ver 5.1 Iomega DOS OAD Utilities ver 1.01 Iomega RCD Utilities ver 7.02 Results of compatibility testing: 1. DR Mulituser DOS recognizes the 90 meg Bernoulli drive when initiated as a secondary drive using the Iomega device driver DOSOAD.SYS. 2. The Bernoulli OAD Install program runs under Multiuser DOS. Any existing CONFIG.SYS file is modified to load the DOSOAD drivers. The DEVICE= commands which load these drivers must be copied to the DR Multiuser DOS file CCONFIG.SYS in order for the Bernoulli drive to initiate under Multiuser DOS. 2. The Iomega device driver RCD.SYS ver 7.02 is NOT compatible with DR Multiuser DOS. Upgrade to the OAD driver. 2. For smaller Bernoulli drives, the RCD drivers ver 4.x are compatible with Multiuser DOS. 3. Mulituser DOS cannot be loaded on the bootable Bernoulli drive. 4. Care should be taken in selecting the base port address for the Iomega Host Adapter. This address should not conflict with any other devices such as a multiport card or network card. 5. Jumpers on the PC2B/50 Host Adapter should be set to disable ROM addressing. Disabling ROM addressing will provide more usable application memory and avoid possible conflict with network cards. 6. Host Adapter PC2B/50 uses hardware address IRQ 5 by default. This is the same IRQ assigned to LPT2 for a 2nd parallel printer port. The only alternate IRQ setting for the PC2B/50 is IRQ 7, which is normally assigned to LPT1. To avoid address conflicts, it is recommended to keep the setting of IRQ 5 and not install any LPT2 port on the Multiuser DOS system. If a network card is set to IRQ 5 it's hardware address must be changed to avoid conflict.
