Rowe) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: [NetBSD 0.9] npx IRQ13 question Date: 22 Dec 1993 18:59:12 GMT Organization: MITRE Corporation, Washington Lines: 21 Message-ID: <2fa5e0$3pk@linus.mitre.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: silicon.mitre.org System Specs. 486DX2/66 w/256k cache VESA/ISA expansion bus 8MB RAM etc, etc VESA Cacheing IDE controller w/2MB cache We have this VESA IDE controller that uses irq 13 and need to make a new kernel to reflect this. The default configurations have the wd driver at irq 14 and the npx driver at 13. Does anyone know if it is possible to simply switch the two (have the IDE use irq 13 and the npx use 14)?? Is there something special about irq 13 that the math coprocessor requires?? Is the npx stuff even relevant on a 486 (all the comments in the npx.c code refer to 287/387)? ....skid The MITRE Corp. email: skid@mitre.org
