Deskpro 590
I just came into ownership of an old Compaq Deskpro 590 (Pentium 90) that I'm
using to replace my old 486 fileserver.
I was hoping to be able to throw a couple of PCI Ethernet cards into the
system (SN3200CTs, NE2100 compatibles), but I ran into a sticking point.
It seems that whenever I put one of those cards in with another card (or
making them both SN3200s) one of the cards can't be detected. I've tried all
sorts of combinations of compilations, lilo options, etc with no avail.
(The cards were at io=0x1000 and 0x1020 and sharing IRQ11. The configuration
utility that comes with the cards won't let me move IRQs to see if that is a
problem)
Plugging in the Two ISA (NE2000 compatibles) cards that I was using on my
486 works fine. (one at 0x300 IRQ5, the other at 0x360 IRQ9)
Any Ideas?
As a side note, anyone know where a copy of the configuration disk for the
BIOS of this system could be found? Searching the Compaq site has done me no
good.
