This system was working on and intel Neptune board and another version of the Tyan motherboard. After a couple of exchanges with Tyan of the mother board (and BIOS revisions) to correct what looked like a problem with spontaneous reboots (in both BSD and Win95) we arrived witht the current motherboard. Again the system works very well with Win95 - in fact I havent seen Win95 (at least this Win95 ) run this good before. We tried swapping an IDE (boot drive is sd0 normally) drive in with Stable on it and the same thing occurs. We have tried different COAST (cache ram) modules and as I said before both the standard Award BIOS and MR BIOS. Here is config file: (note no ep0 - learned that as soon as new ep driver was placed into current) machine "i386" cpu "I386_CPU" cpu "I486_CPU" ident PUGA maxusers 24 config kernel root on sd0 options "COMPAT_43" options SYSVSHM options SYSVSEM options SYSVMSG options UCONSOLE options SCSIDEBUG options SCSI_REPORT_GEOMETRY controller isa0 options "AUTO_EOI_2" options BOUNCE_BUFFERS device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr options HARDFONTS options MAXCONS=4 device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0 disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1 controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0 disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1 controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0 disk fd1 at fdc0 drive 1 device lpt0 at isa? port? tty irq 7 vector lptintr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr controller pci0 controller ahc1 device vx0 options PROBE_VERBOSE options COMPAT_LINUX
