  • Slottype in Dnnnn.ADFs

    From Louis Ohland@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 14 08:54:57 2023
    Slottype[n] = 32 0 0

    Slottype[n] where n is slot number [duh]

    Slot width of 24 or 32. 24 can be used on a 16-bit system, -or- it can
    be a 24-bit device on a 32-bit system [example, DBA-ESDI on Model 90]

    First single digit, 0 - normal MCA slot, 1 - AVE or BVE slot

    Second digit, 0 - adapter, 1 - planar device

    Model 90
    Planar Device 5 - Integrated Fixed Disk and Controller
    Slottype[5] = 24 0 1

    24-bit, normal slot,

    It's important to note that these numbers refer to the *address bus*.

    16-bit MCA slot - 16-bit data, 24-bit address
    32-bit MCA slot - 32-bit data, 32-bit address
