And make sure your interrupt request settings are correct so your daughtercards will work. -
@linuxgal Even better/worse was dealing with folks who would install SCSI drives into machines but forgetting to change the SCSI ID jumper on the drives (or ID switches on the back of external enclosures).
Certain servers required drives at specific IDs depending on boot, optical, etc.
-
@linuxgal Ohh Yeah!
-
@linuxgal
I feel so old now
-
-
@linuxgal call me old without calling me old.
-
@linuxgal@techhub.social I did that like once
-
@linuxgal and cable select NEVER worked even with the right udma cable.
-
@linuxgal Dan ben je dus echt héél erg oud...
-
@linuxgal MFM would like a word, and its ribbons are all twisted...
-
@benroyce @neverbeaten @linuxgal I thought it was IRQ5. 3 & 4 were for COM2/COM4 and COM1/COM3 respectively.
-
@linuxgal IDE master/slave jumpers… and ISA card jumper settings… yes, still remember that.
-
@linuxgal put that choker on me daddy
-
@linuxgal@techhub.social #ichBinSoAlt , ich kenne das auch noch.
-
@linuxgal ngl, was always afraid these would simply explode when not connected the right way 🤪
-
@linuxgal is this not a thing now?
-
-
@linuxgal Interrupts und IO-Adressen per Jumper auf ISA-Karten festlegen... good old times.
Und natürlich Master uns Slave auf den Festplatten.

@stuartl @benroyce @neverbeaten @linuxgal 5 or 7. The line "SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1" will remain etched into my brain forever.

@stuartl @benroyce @neverbeaten @linuxgal Yeah, I think you're right. Although it's so long ago it's mostly just a faint wisp of a memory.
I also remember making a cable to connect a 23 pin Amiga monitor to a 15 pin PC VGA plug. It worked too! (We had all the cable-making equipment where I worked.)
