I have one of these (AVA1505) in my drawer as the result of an unsuccessful effort getting it to work here under a 3.0-current. Interesting that you are saying that no irq comes through. I observed that the probe was OK but when trying to access the tape I had attached to it the process got hung which may happen when no IRQ occurs. Also the aic probe seemed to mess my WD8013 cards I had in that machine. After all I gave up and bought a used AH1542CF. Maybe something's odd with enabling the interrupts on the board (aic chip). > > Dw. > > > > http://ewse.ceo.org http://enrm.ceo.org > DWvGulik@Dialis.xs4all.nl Dirk.vanGulik@jrc.it > +39 332 78 0014 +39 332 78 9549 > fax +39 332 78 9185 > > ISEI/ESBA; The Center For Earth Observation > Joint Research Centre of the European Communities, Ispra, Italy > > --Chris Christoph P.
