Although this question has nothing to do with survivor PC's I dare to put it
here because I know that a lot of experience is available here.
Apart from my XT three 486 I have since short a Pentium II with 400mHz, 64
Kb ram, a sufficient big HD, a sound card, a cdrom drive, a 1,44 and a 1,2
kb floppy drive and an external voice fax modem.
The difficulty started when I declared the salesperson that I did not
wanted any form of Windows installed.
In the meantime I have been able to install my cdrom, to use my external
modem and to start up filling my HD with DOS and Linux.
With my sound card I have difficulties because it is a PnP card.
In the Cmos setup under PNP/PCI Configuration there are four possible
choices which the computer show set as follows:
PNP OS Installed -Yes
Resources Controlled by -Auto
Reset Conf. Data -Disabled
Assign IRQ for USB -Enabled
With this setting my sound card is absolute soundless and during booting
following IRQ are shown:
PCI device no/ listing IRQ
7 IDE controller 14
7 Serial bus controller 10
15 display controller 5
ISA/PNP DMA device listing
3 0,0 OPL3-Sax Sound card 11
If I set the PNP OS installed to No I get:
PCI device no/ listing IRQ
7 IDE controller 14
7 Serial bus controller 10
15 display controller 9
ISA/PNP DMA device listing
0 0,1 OPL3-Sax Soundcard 5
0 0,0 OPL3-Sax Soundcard NA
0 0,0 OPL3-Sax Soundcard NA
1 0,0 OPL3-Sax Soundcard 11
I think that this is a little to much for a soundcard although
the thing starts to work (e.g. with Nettamer- it was repeating its opening
message ad infinitum) but not yet as wanted.
There is some other toggle in the CMOS setup which I do not understand why I
left it alone for the time being.
Resources Controlled by -Auto can be changed into manual and gives then a
whole bunch of choices such as:
IRQ-3 assigned to Legacy ISA (sorry but what is that?)
IRQ-4 to 15 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP (does that hurt? :-))
DMA-0 to 7 assigned to PCI/ISA PnP (same as above)
I have the feeling that I have to change something in these settings but am
fully unsure what to do.
And what the corresponding lines in the autoexec.bat should be, any info is
more than welcome.
Some user enters a computer store "I use Win 98" - "mmmmmmmmmmmmh"
"My computer doesn't work" - "You already told that..."
