A2386SX bridgeboard problems

[Zac67]

countzero's right: the A2386SX tries to allocate RAM space which is already used up by your 8 MB card. Different Z2 card not using RAM space but I/O space do not have that kind of problem (e.g. SCSI controllers w/o RAM).

Reduce the RAM on your Z2 RAM card to 6 or 4 MB to solve this problem. There's no other way to do it. Since you've got an accelerator card, you should populate and use its RAM instead - it's much faster anyway. ;-)

You're in luck, cause soon X Surf 3boards will be in stock, which give you much better performance you can ever have from an ISA card.

Don't want to confuse you, but the XSurf is an ISA card - adapted to Z2, of course.

NiMH batteries do leak if they're old enough.
