Trap Errors with NEC Powermate Global Cache and Madge (99578)






This article was previously published under Q99578

SYMPTOMS

Your system traps with an NEC Powermate 486 EISA tower with global cache turned on, and a Madge 32-bit token ring card.

CAUSE

Madge token ring card models other than 5208 (part number series 95XXX) cannot function with the NEC CMOS global cache setting turned on. Any other Madge token ring card model (5209, 5210, and so on) traps the system.

WORKAROUND

Turn the NEC CMOS global cache off or obtain Madge token ring card model 5208.
