Has anyone used this configuration successfully?
We have a SystemPro with 104MB (yeah, I know, it's a real sob story here :-))
that reports this at boot:
NetBSD 1.0_BETA (BSGAHA) #0: Sun Jul 31 18:15:51 CDT 1994
root@news:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BSGAHA
CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU)
real mem = 16252928
avail mem = 14184448
According to the EISA configuration, memory is running in "Compaq Compatible
mode", whatever that means. There is also a choice for linear mode, but the
EISA configuration changes it back to Compaq Compatible mode when I change it.
Anyone seen this before? I want to run INN on this beast, and that memory
would certainly be helpful. It's also seriously proprietary memory, so if I
can't use it, it's not even useful in other machines around here.
Thanks for any thoughts,
!!kmm
