- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: If a PS/2 is running VGA, the reference diskette will not show
- that Int 2, or the memory range from A000 to C800 is being
- used.
-
- Here is a note from the NetWare 386 v3.1 Supplements Manual
- page 3-7. "IMPORTANT: Do not choose an interrupt level that
- conflicts with other boards in the station. (IBM's REFERENCE
- diskette program allows duplicate interrupt levels in a given
- station, but NetWare does not.)". As you may have noticed,
- there is nothing to show a user that the VGA is using Int 2
- or Mem A000-C800. This is rather important as it means RX-
- net/2s or SMC PS110s cannot be configured for these addresses
- or interrupt.
-
- (X) This information was verified in the lab.
