Hello,
I am putting together an small system for a firewall based on an
IPX. Since it's going to be a firewall, I purchased a Fast SCSI/Ethernet
(FSBE/S) (P/N: 501-2015) card from a friend of mine for the 2nd NIC.
When I insert the card, I receive a "Invalid FCode start byte at
ffe70000", and the machine fails to recognize the card. The strange thing
is that if I perform a soft reset, the card is recognized without a
problem. My friend had the card in a SS5 and never experienced any
problems. My IPX has OpenBoot Prom rev. 2.6. I've done quite a bit of
extensive searching, and have been unable to find any insight into why
this is happening. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jock
