#PAR Install Help
3 messages in this thread
I'm waiting for my P90 and have run out of time. I'm trying to install my PAR
in my 486 and am having problems.
I have the case open and the Micropolis HD is sitting outside.
It seems the PAR is not recognized. The error is.
Warning — Invalid Base Address in PAR.INI File
Runnung Auto-Detection …
DPS PAR Board Nor Found !
MASTER_MAXDRIVE_LBA not found in PAR.INI
I tried changing the dip switch to 228 and adding it to my Autoexec.Bat but the
problem still exists.
Also the HD gets VERY, VERY hot – is this normal?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Mark
Mark….
My install a year ago gave me similar fits. My PAR is external hanging on a
Prolinea 486/50. I got your errors. You have got to make absolute sure that all
of your device addresses are correct, and not overwritting each other. If you
have a Targa board, make sure the PAR and Targa are not overlapped. I also had
a few problems getting the PAR drive to format and fired up. I just had to keep
fiddling with it and stay calm.
Geez….I don't know about the hot drive. Sounds a bit wierd. It should not be
getting that hot. Of course up here in the Big Sky country nothing is hot right
now (-5).

Hello,
Thanks for replying. I just got my P90 today. I'm going to put the PAR in
tonight.
Maybe I won't have any problems(g).
Thanks again,
Mark
