I/O Addresses Not Available with Future Domain 850 Series

 * }

Q132061

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you are configuring a Future Domain SCSI controller in Device Manager, you may not be able to configure the controller to use the E800h-E9FFh or EA00h-EBFFh I/O address range, even though you can configure the controller itself to use either of these ranges. This problem is known to occur with the following Future Domain controllers:


 * TMC-850
 * TMC-850M
 * TMC-850MER
 * TMC-850MEX

CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Windows 95 SCSI.INF file and hardware detection routine do not distinguish between the Future Domain 850- and 860-series controllers. Although the 850-series controllers can be configured to use the I/O addresses listed above, the 860-series controllers cannot.

RESOLUTION
The Future Domain 850-series SCSI controllers cannot be configured to use the E800h-E9FFh or EA00h-EBFFh I/O address range when you are using the Windows 95 protected-mode drivers. If you are using protected-mode drivers, use one of the following valid address ranges for the controller:


 * C800h-C9FFh
 * CA00h-CBFFh
 * CE00h-CFFFh
 * DE00h-DFFFh

If you must use the E800h-E9FFh or EA00h-EBFFh I/O address range, use the real-mode drivers included with the controller instead of the Windows 95 protected-mode drivers.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
