I have a Consensys 8 port intelligent serial card that I am trying to get
working with SCO Unix. I purchased the latest drivers from Consensys but I
am having problems getting them to work becuase I am unsure of how the
jumper settings are supposed to be set up on this card, since I bought the
card second hand and unfortunately the manual I have does not outline the
jumper settings properly. If anybody out there has a manual and can give me
some insight into how to go about setting the jumpers properly I would
*really* appreciate it.

Thanks.

We used to use those cards with SCO Xenix/UNIX, but stopped because they use
memory mapping - and we found it was difficult to configure the cards to run
successfully in machines with 16 MB because of the limitations of their
addressing scheme. As a matter of fact, I believe that we were only
successful in getting them to run in more recent versions of SCO UNIX (3.2 ver2)
and later) by limiting the machine to a 12 MB configuration.

We do have the original manuals from these boards, and would be willing to
help you. But first, we need more information in order to help:

What version of SCO UNIX?
How much RAM?
What other cards (Ethernet, etc) do you have in the system,
and what I/O ports, IRQ's, DMA, etc. do they use?
Other configuration information that may be pertinent.
