OS/2
Summary:
The Adaptec 1540B/1542B BID that shipped with OS/2 version 1.3 for
servers does not support I/O addresses of 134/130. Instead, supported
addresses are 334/330 and 234/230. If an address of 134/130 is used,
the installation disk will be unable to recognize the existence of the
controller, and therefore, will not install OS/2 on the machine.
More Information:
Since these I/O addresses are not supported, the jumper block labeled
J7 on the controller must not have pin 4 jumpered (I/O address of 134)
or pins 2 and 4 jumpered (I/O address 130).
The following is the jumper block and a table of possible address
selections:
