A2386 vs A2620 ???
I added a used A2620 card with 68881 and 4MB. The dealer who sold it to
me got it as a trade-in on an 030 card. I didn't get any docs or software
with it. (Seemed like a good deal at the time.)
Unfortunately, my A2386 card is now unavailable. I keep getting a
cannot-load, or cannot-open, janus.library error when I try to use PCprefs
or PCwindow. I re-installed the bridgeboard software three times.
Neither enforcer nor CPU seemed to control the problem. I get the
impression a ROM on the A2620 card is grabbing the system on boot-up and
preventing NODATACACHE from taking effect. (Does OS2.1 require new ROM's
for the A2620 card?)
I've just added parallel/serial I/O, Paradise Accelerated VGA, MS/DOS 6.0,
and Geos2.0 (recommended BTW). I don't want to have to choose between the
A2386 and the A2620. I have the usual college faculty financial blues,
and can't justify much more in upgrades. And the IBM compatability is
pretty much mandatory!
Any advice and information would be appreciated. Thanx.
