CAN THIS BE TRUE? I find ODT 1.0 (SCO UNIX 3.2.1) is running on the box from which I am posting this note (via a login to iuvax) with a WD8013E card and seems to happily coexist with a Sun 4/110FCE using NFS, telnet, and ftp. The card is one of the older ones that has jumper-selected IRQ and I/O addresses. For reasons that I don't pretend to understnd only IRQ 2 works. Two WD8003EPR cards failed in the same machine, one caused a failure during UNIX boot and the other crashed the system irregularly (these are newer 8003E cards). Both work fine under DOS, incidentally, as does the 8013E. Older WD cards are available from surplus houses, such as LAN Recyclers and Computer Recyclers. -- Mike Squires (mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu) 812 855 3974 (w) 812 333 6564 (h) mikes@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu 546 N Park Ridge Rd., Bloomington, IN 47408 Under construction: mikes@sir-alan.cica.indiana.edu
