Tech Notes: This controller uses reserved memory address C0000-CBFFF. The report indicated that it was necessary to change the SCSI controller I/O address from 220 to 110 or the system wouldn't boot with the controller and the Intel memory board installed at the same time. BERNOULLI BOX INTERFACE BOARD BY IOMEGA BERNOULLI BOX INTERFACE BOARD BY IOMEGA Compatible with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. TROUBLESHOOTING: Try swapping the order of the Bernoulli and EMM.SYS device drivers. If you are using the QUIKMEM2 RAM disk software, be sure the Bernoulli device driver is loaded BEFORE QUIKMEM2. Check to be sure you have the correct adapter board for your machine type: >> The PC3 or PC3B boards are for PC and XT systems. >> The PC2 or COMBO boards are for AT systems. In some cases the PC3 or PC3B boards will work in AT systems until you load the bus, but remember they are using an adapter board that is not designed for an AT system. So if the Intel memory board works without the Bernoulli board installed, they'll need to replace the Bernoulli board. ROM ADDRESS: The Bernoulli board is configurable from C0000 to E0000 with jumpers on the board. The 8K ROM is needed only if booting from the Bernoulli. ASC-88 SCSI ADAPTER ASC-88 SCSI Adapter by Advanced Storage Concepts Compatible with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. Has switch settings for reserved memory addresses. The factory default setting is CC00. The following jumper settings are as listed from their manual, Appendix B: A16 A15 A14 ADDRESS 0 0 0 = C000 0 0 1 = C400 0 1 0 = C800 0 1 1 = CC00 factory default setting 1 0 0 = D000 1 0 1 = D400 1 1 0 = D800 1 1 1 = DC00 If you are setting the Intel memory board for expanded memory, use the EXPF or EXPL parameters to relocate the expanded memory page frame before or after the ASC memory address. CUMULUS SILHOUETTE EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE ADAPTER *CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with current Above Boards, Matched Memory Classic, and the discontinued Above Board 286 and PS/286. Tech Note: This board may use I/0 address 208. If there's a conflict, remove the Cumulus board, and change the Intel memory board I/0 address to something other than 208. Then re-install the Cumulus board. COPYII PC DELUXE BY CENTRAL POINT *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. Tech Notes: Default I/O port address for the CopyII PC Deluxe board conflicts with Above Boards. Jumpers for Deluxe: J6 has two jumpers: LEFT RIGHT I/O ADDRESS ---- ----- ----------- UP UP 268h-26Fh default DOWN DOWN 3E8h-3EFh UP DOWN 368h-36Fh DOWN UP 2E8h-2EFh J7 controls DMA port: UP = channel 1 default DOWN = channel 3 DATAMATIC SCSI HARD DISK CONTROLLER Compatible with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. Tech Notes: The factory default I/O address is 330. Alternate choices are 320, 328, 330, and 338. The factory default for ROM address is set to D800 using 16K. Alternate ROM addresses are C800, CC00, D000, and D800 configured by jumpers on the board. EXPANZ! Disk compression product, a half-length AT-bus board that contains an ASYC with a disk compression algorithm. The algorithm works like PKZip; however, it appears to be a more efficient algorithm. This product uses a 16K reserved page frame. The board can be set to the following addresses: CC00 (default) DC00 EC00 C800 D800 E800 C000 D400 E400 D000 E000 If the customer is on a system that permits access to the E000 range (XTs), set the "Expanz!" board to a 16K boundary in this range. If the user is on a system that does not decode E000 (ATs), then EMM will require a page frame parameter. FUTURE DOMAINS SCSI CONTROLLER *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of LIMITED COMPATIBILITY with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic depending on the version of the SCSI controller. Symptom: With an Intel memory board in the system the hard drive would time out. Removing the EMM.SYS driver DID NOT HELP. The SCSI board had -02 on the assembly number on the front of the board. Solution: Customer tried the newer version of the SCSI board, -03, and it worked fine. PLUS HARDCARD IN THE IBM AT *CUSTOMER REPORTS* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. NOTE: The Plus Hardcard BIOS ver 4.2 is INCOMPATIBLE with the 6MHz IBM AT BIOS dated 1-10-84. The solution is to replace the BIOS with a later revision of the IBM BIOS. IBM 5.25 EXTERNAL FLOPPY CTRL AND LOTUS 2.0 *CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. One customer reported that his IBM Model 30/286 locked up whenever he accessed the 5.25 drive in Lotus 2.0. The problem disappeared when he switched to Lotus ver 2.01. KODAK 6.6MB FLOPPY CONTROLLER *CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. This controller has a ROM that uses memory from D000h - D1FFFh or D200h - D3FFFh. KONAN DISK CONTROLLER *CUSTOMER REPORT* of compatibility with current Above Boards and Matched Memory Classic. Tech Note: This is a 16-bit disk controller board with 16K ROM at a switchable address (C000, C800, CC00, D000, D400, D800, DC00). One customer reported his AT-Clone wouldn't boot when the discontinued Above Board 286 was installed with this board. Upgrading to the Above Board Plus allowed it to work with both boards in 16-bit mode. Konan ph: 602-345-1300 LCS 6610F FLOPPY CONTROLLER *CUSTOMER REPORT* of INCOMPATIBILITY with Above Boards in one computer. Long Shine Computers XT hangs on boot with this board and an Above Board, even when the EMM.SYS driver is not installed. Customer switched to a Western Digital disk controller using the LCS BIOS and it worked. LCS controller handles two internal floppies, has a BIOS that can reside at either CC000 or CA000, I/O ranges 370-37F.
