PROBLEM: "abend error reseting Eth505 adapter"

Novell software, AST286 PC server, Elink plus w/256k, Int9, DMA 5 and
I/O 300h.


SOLUTION:  Abend stands for Abnormal End, error resetting Eth505
adapter is self-explanatory.

Check whether the 3C505 is in an 8bit or 16bit slot and check whether
their jumpers match accordingly.  With the settings given, the card
ought to be in a 16 bit slot. Have them try different jumpers, they
may be having a conflict with another card in their PC.

If that doesn't work, they should run our diagnostics and if
everything works fine they should remake the shell for the 505 board
with the parameters you specified.  (They need to read the Novell
manual for this.)

When you install Novell software you need to create a "Shell" for the
type of board you have, and for the Int, DMA, and I/O Address running on
the board.  If the parameters that are set do not match the way the
board is configured you will have problems.  Unfortunately there is no
way of knowing what parameters are set in the Shell, that is why it is
best to recreate it.
