- PROBLEM: Here is some information that we found with NetWare 386 v3.0
- and v3.1 and loading two Token-Ring cards. With v3.0,
- customers may get this error message:
-
- "Token-Ring adapter did not exist at port A24".
-
- Solution: The answer is in the setting of the 16/4 cards. The option
- of setting the first card to option 0 and the second card to
- option 2 will fail. The setting we found that worked was
- as follows:
-
- Lan A:IRQ=2 ROM=CC00 and this sets RAM at D800
- switch #9 set to off (this selects the primary card)
-
- Lan B:IRQ=3 ROM=C800 and this sets ram at D400
- switch #9 set to on (alternate)
-
- There may be other combinations that will work which we
- didn't test.
-
- When loading two Token-Ring cards with v3.1, customers may
- get this error message:
-
- "ERROR: frame type is already loaded"
-
- This occurs when you enter LOAD TOKEN then another LOAD
- TOKEN. The correct statement is LOAD TOKEN PORT=A20 then
- LOAD TOKEN PORT=A24. The first port assignment is assumed
- but the second must be specified.
