Hi Michael,
I havn't used a 3c590 before, but the following usually works for
other 3coms. The technique includes running the configuration
program for the card. If there isn;t a configuration program, just
miss out the config steps.
1. Reset the motherboard to factory defaults.
2. Take the scsi card out.
3. Boot from a msdos floppy and run 3C5X9CFG (on the distribution
floppy) or its equivalent for the 590(3c9x5?).
4. Set the IRQ using the automatic configuration.
5. Shutdown
6. Put the scsi card in.
7. Boot from a msdos floppy. Check the irqs
8. Adjust (fiddle) with the factory defaults to your liking.
This usually works.
If you can't find a copy of the config program it ought to be on
the 3com website. www.3com.com is the url I think. If you can;t
get to the website, ask me and I'll send you a copy.
Let me know how you get on.
Kind regards,
Tony Wells
