Cross Brand - Auto configuration conflicts with 5.25 desktop drive adapter
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
When Auto-Configuring a PS/2 which contains an ethernet adapter and an external 5.25" diskette drive adapter, address conflicts may be experienced.
The IBM external 5.25" diskette drive adapter has a fixed I/O address, which is not relocatable. Although the ethernet adapter address can be relocated, it's default address can conflict with the external diskette adapter . Moving the external diskette drive adapter to a lower number slot than the ethernet adapter will avoid address conflicts, but moving the ethernet adapter to a different slot may cause problems with the customers customised software.
Problem Isolation Aids:
None
Fix:
If "view configuration" shows an address conflict with the external 5.25" drive adapter, use "change configuration" to select a non conflicting address for the ethernet adapter.
