434.0. "Proteon p1990 plus card on AS4100 on UNIX 3.2g" by ZPOVC::SOONHENG () Mon Jan 27 1997 07:51

    Hi all,
    
    I seen a lot of topics discussing the proteon Token Ring card on
     Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0.
    
    I currently have a problem installing the proteon Token Ring card
    p1990 plus on the Alphaserver 4100 that is running D-Unix 3.2g.
    
    first, I boot the system to firmware console prompt without the
    card to confirm that the system is working. Second, I add the
    card in one of the EISA slot and boot it to firmware console
    prompt. However, the system hang and the error message is :
    "CPU 0 TOY". Checking the manual indicate the TOY means real
    time clock problem. Removing the card and booting it back to
    firmware console prompt result no error.
    
    From here, I conclude there is a problem in the proteon card.
    Could anyone advise do they have this problem before ?
    
    Thank you.
    soon Heng
    

    Did you run the ECU?
    

    Hi, thank you for your prompt reply.
    
    I have to get to firmware console prompt before I can run ECU.
    However, I could not even go to that stage. The system just hang
    and the LCD display "CPU 0 TOY".
    
    

    I would recommend trying another card. It may be broken. We have seen
    faulty devices bring down the whole (or parts of the) junk I/O bus.
    This may be what you're running into.
