AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #0907 3-22-94 SMC ARCNET BOARD FAILS ON PREMMIA PROBLEM: The Premmia system, with SMC ARCnet, locks up when loading Novell 3.11 (ipx.com). If on-board VGA is disabled, and add- on VGA is used, the problem disappears. CAUSE: The problem occurs because the default I/O address setting of 2E0h for the SMC ARCnet board conflicts with the ATI video controller. SYSTEMS AFFECTED: Premmia. SOLUTION: The problem can be resolved by changing the base I/O address of the SMC ARCnet controller to 300h.
