54 Enhanced OS-9 for X86 PCAT

Installing and Configuring Enhanced OS-9
The default connection type is set to INF_EXT (auto). For the 3COM
ISA card, this implies the card setup program has been used and has
setup the card connection type. If you are unable to communicate with
this card and netstat -in shows the device, the connection type may be
incorrect. To correct it, you may do one of the following:
1. Use the 3COM setup disk to configure the card for the connection
used.
2. Change the OS-9 device descriptor for the type of connection in use.
3. Try one of the other connections on the card (if using AUI type, try
the RJ45 connector).

How to modify the OS-9 descriptor
Edit the file
MWOS/OS9000/80386/PORTS/PCAT/SPF/SPE509/DEFS/spf_desc.h,
looking in the "#ifdef spe30_pci" section for CONNTYPE, which you
should set to the appropriate value from the following list:
INF_AUI = AUI Connection type
INF_BNC = BNC connection type
INF_UPT = 10BaseT (RJ45)
INF_EXT = Use same connection type determined in 3COM setup
program
/*
* From spf_desc.h
*/
/* options for CONNTYPE: INF_AUI, INF_BNC, INF_UTP, INF_EXT (auto) */
#define CONNTYPEINF_EXT
Finally, remake the descriptor: change to the
MWOS/OS9000/80386/PORTS/PCAT/SPF/SPE509 directory and type
"os9make -f=spfdesc.mak".
