| From: NESBIT::RARMSTRONG "Ross 08-Apr-1997 0813 +0000" 8-APR-1997 03:13:38.25
we have qualified the following SCSI option cards
Adaptec 2940 SN-PCTAZ-DE
Adaptec 3940 ?
Adaptec 2944 SWXA3-BC
In the short term we also plan to test the following Dual Enet/SCSI
[believed to be EBM4x/EBM2x specific....dwp]

| 202.3 | DEC FDDI Card? Do you have FDDI set-up ? | HELIX::SONTAKKE | | Wed Apr 09 1997 17:52 | 4 |
| Can I request that somebody try our FDDI card? One of the customer
is having some hardware problems when the FDDI is used extensively.

| Takara SRM 4.8 1134 console complains, echoing the following error:
- PCI Interrupt Error Invalid Vector a7, e6, e5
This is very strange. There is no functional difference between the
interrupt handling on Takara vs K2. Identical code base is used on
both the platforms.
Vector a7 -> that's [primary logical slot #2 for A] AD<30>
PCI_slot_18
7-> Function B INTD# on the multifunction card ??

Unfortunately, it's not as simple a problem as interrupt handling. Takara
does not report this message on a secondary PCI bus on Takara, the message is
only reported in the primary PCI bus.
"Under investigation". (but fairly well understood!)
As far as has been tested in note .5, and after examining the relevant code,
this does/should not affect K2.

| By the way, check the bridge programming for both K2 and Takara.
Examine the Chip Control/Diagnostic Control/Burst Limit Counter/serr
Disable Register (what a mouthful!) of the KZPSM's 21052 bridge chip:
It should be "0xC"; the Request Mask Timer value to 64 PCI clock
cycles.
Otherwise, there is a real good chance of system losing time. Most
platform console code was changed accordingly. We need to make sure
ours have inherited the change.
