Hi,
A shot in the dark this will be.
I expect others have DRSI card in their PC either running just a node or a
BBS/NODE. I want to use another machine as the 486 I have the BBS (GB7ZZZ)
on at this time is getting old and the disks are begining to fail so
it is time to put it out to grass. Right, I thought, I have been donated a
COMPAQ XL5100 with 2.5Gb of hard disk wth a Pentium 100 and 40mb RAM, ideal
what a marvelous machine to run the BBS on......alas no when the DRSI cards
are in the machine I get the following happen.
BPQ Switch code loads fine (like a rocket) Windows will load ok with BPQ and
WinFBB is no problem, the machine runs fine until the first Nodes broadcast
on any channel. The DRSI card goes to TX and stays there till the Dog watch
timer turns it off. Listen to the output and this consists of one single tone
which of course stops when the Dog watch timer comes in. The machine does not
lockup and access to the node is cool except when a command to TX is given
and it performs in the same was as above.
I have been told that this is due to the design of the DRSI and the speed of
the Motherboard's bus, so, are there any modifications that you might know of
or have performed to over come this problem? I have also tried this in
another machine which is Pentium based the fault is the same, using another
486 the problem does not happen. I have tried other types of cards in the
machine and these work with no problem ,so this would be the best route to
follow except for one thing the cost.
Any information would be gratefully received and of course and expenses
rembused.
Thanks in advance.
