- PROBLEM: The problem is with a Wyse 32/25 300 with the WD1007V
- controller, instead of the WD1007A controller. This machine
- fails to load ISADISK four out of five times. It gets
- "Abend: Invalid physical device passed to PutRequest". The
- one time it loads, it runs forever. Even if you exit from
- the NetWare 386 operating system to DOS and start the server
- again, it will load fine, and as many times as you want.
- The WD1007V has the latest Revision 1.1 BIOS. We got the
- customer to try loading at 8MHz and that works fine. So for
- now, they are loading the operating system at 8MHz and then
- switching speeds to 25MHz.
-
- COMMENTS: It looks like the Wyse has a timing problem on the bus,
- which shows at initialization time. The customer is going
- to ask Wyse and Western Digital to fix it between them.
