If either or both of you get a chance to power up your SMS-1000 systems sometime you could answer some questions regardless of whatever OS you may have installed on the system at the time. First question: What firmware version does your SMS-1000 system report? That is reported by IDENTIFY under the top level STATUS menu item. My SMS-1000 reports "Firmware V0.6". I am really curious if there is newer firmware version which might have a more compatible MSCP controller implementation. Second question: What is the set of CSR addresses available to choose from to configure the DU device? This is under the top level menu item CONFIGURATION, ADDRESSES, BUS ADDRESSES, DU DEVICE ADDR. The manual lists the CSR address choices as {17772150, 17760334, 17760340, 17760344, 17760350, 17760354, 17772154}. My SMS-1000 lists the CSR address choices as {17772150, 17772154, 17772160, 17772164, 17777150, 17777154, 17777160}. Sample output from my system: * HIT ANY KEY WITHIN TIME LIMIT * SMS 1000 ** SMS 1000 ** 1 STATUS <-- 2 OPERATION 3 EVALUATION 4 CONFIGURATION ENTER NUMBER - 1 **STATUS** 1 IDENTIFY 2 ENVIRONMENT <-- ENTER NUMBER - 1 SMS 1000 Firmware V0.6 Sfm S/N Ship ??/??/?? ** SMS 1000 ** 1 STATUS <-- 2 OPERATION 3 EVALUATION 4 CONFIGURATION ENTER NUMBER - 4 **CONFIGURATION** 1 FLOPPY FORMATS <-- 2 BOOTSTRAP 3 POWER ON/RESTART 4 SERIAL PORTS 5 DEVICE PARAMETRS 6 ADDRESSES 7 SPECIAL ENTER NUMBER - 6 **ADDRESSES** 1 INTRPT VECTORS <-- 2 BUS ADDRESSES ENTER NUMBER - 2 **BUS ADDRESSES** 1 BOOT PROM ADDR <-- 2 DU DEVICE ADDR 3 PORT BASE ADDR ENTER NUMBER - 2 **DU DEVICE** 1 17772150? <-- 2 17772154? 3 17772160? 4 17772164? 5 17777150? 6 17777154? 7 17777160?
