David and Mario,
Thanks to both of you for pondering my difficulties.
Below are the outputs from pin, show_pci and sin ver. I need to amend to my
previous posting as well.
I discovered that at times pin says the card is a memory card. Then, times
it will say it is a Serial card. Now, when it says it is a memory card,
Dev.ser launches, but no serial port.
When it says it is a serial card, starting Dev.ser causes the computer to
completely lock up. No other consols, nor is the
networking…well…working. Completely dead…kaput…
If I boot with the serial card in the 1st socket, when the sysinit file runs
Net.ether589 &, the computer locks up.
If I boot with the serial card in the 2nd socket, everything is fine.
So I boot with the card not in the socket and then run Dev.ser p1,2 &. The
computer locks up.
This is so weird.
Is the Socket just a serial card, or is it a combined serial/networking
card?
It is a serial card. Not networking combo…
Here are the outputs you suggested I post…thanks for enduring a headache
with me!
