IBM PC730/PC750 - Cannot query/enable/disable L2 cache in Micro Channel systems
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
There is no facility within the PC 700 Micro Channel system Reference Diskette (latest version v1.10) to disable or enable the L2 cache or to check for its presence on the planar board.
Problem Isolation Aids:
Problem only affects Micro Channel PC 700 systems. System function is otherwise not affected - no parts should be replaced. No other IBM PC systems are affected.
Fix:
Field workaround is to run the CACHE.EXE utility.
Entering CACHE at a DOS prompt will report the current status of L1 and L2 cache. If running from native DOS then L2 cache can be enabled by entering CACHE L2=ON, and, disabled by entering CACHE L2=OFF. Cache cannot be enabled/disabled in this way from an OS/2 DOS session.
