- I'm having trouble making a BusLogic (formorly BusTek) B542BT
- bus-mastering SCSI host adapter work with my 486DX-33 (Pioneer
- 486WB/33 with OPTI write-back cache).
-
- I suspect the DMA.
-
- Some of the diags that run under DOS crash.
-
- When I use it under SCO Xenix (2.3.2GT + UFN + xnx339), everything
- works fine until I load X (Roell's -- ported by Per Linquist). Then
- it crashes within minutes.
-
- This is also the case with non-GT Xenix on the same board (which is
- non-scsi, and in theory, shouldn't even try to access the board).
-
- I'd really like to make this work with my current motherboard, but may
- entertain buying another one that I __KNOW__ will work.
