I've had several machines running various OS versions from 2.1.x to 2.2.2 with various 3C509 cards including 3C509B. I've never had a problem with these cards before now. At the moment, I'm desperately trying to set up 2.2.5R on a machine with a 3C509-TP card that has been running quite happily on a Novell network. I've now tried two different cards, neither of which are recognised by the probe (ep0 not found at 0x300). The cards are not P&P and I've checked both with 3C5X9CFG.EXE under DOS. I've checked and rechecked the configuration of both. Below is what the 3COM utility says about each card. Both cards are identified as 3C509-TP Etherlink III 16 bit ISA NIC's. I'm trying to run them in a 486DX2/66 very generic machine (just IDE, FD, SVGA and ethernet). Property or Info Card 1 Card 2 ================ ====== ====== NIC type TP TP-only Date of manufacture 6/5/90 9/14/94 Division Code 6 6 Product Code MA AB ASIC Revision 1 1 I/O Base Address 300H 300H IRQ 10 10 Boot PROM Disabled Disabled Tranceiver On Board TP On Board TP Network Driver Optimisation DOS Client DOS Client I've tried several boot disks (2.2.2R and 2.2.5R included) and all fail to see either card even when the cards are reconfigured to different I/O Addrs (0x320 for example). Anyone got a clue about this??? Cheers, -- Gary Roberts (gdr@wcs.uq.edu.au)
