Maybe... disable the IDE controller, install SCSI, then try the Snark?

NamedItem Prompt "AT IDE Interface"
choice "Primary" pos[16]=1XXXXX11b io 1F0h-1F8h
choice "Secondary" pos[16]=1XXXXX01b io 170h-178h
choice "Disabled" pos[16]=1XXXXXX0b

Help
" The on-board AT IDE interface can be configured as Primary or
Secondary. If you select Primary, the interface will be accessed at port addresses from 1F0H to 1F8H. If you select Secondary, the port
addresses will be from 170 to 178.

If you don't have AT IDE fixed disk, you can select Disabled to avoid a conflict with other devices."

I don't see a conflict there.

May be an interrupt problem too. Sharing doesn't always work...

A complete list of the used hardware and shots of the "View
Configuration" page (or whatever its alternative is in the PSETUP
utility) would help.

That is the point. Not sure of any resources.

Remove adapters, shut off non-essentials, get it to boot.

Try adding Snark, see what it wandts.

Hey guys, thanks for the info and content. Life got busy heading up to the holiday, but I have the next week off. The plan is to play with it and report back when I find. I managed to find a spock with 2MB and I'm going to disable onboard IDE, to
play with that and some spare scsi drives I have kicking around, as well as other things.

The other thing I am trying to trace down when I play Doom is that there are periodic cuts in sound or loud static. Trying to find out if there is an interrupt conflict. Also, I had to replace DOS/4GW with DOS32A for Doom II to even work. See here
for an example, minus the IRQ issues he had in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IASGSBgs7A&t=943s

Do the IBM SCSI adapters do IRQ sharing? I believe the onboard IDE does and Windows95 doesn't like it from what I gather on the newsgroup. Wonder if there's issues there with the snark too.

Yes, the IBM manufactured ones do [Tribble, Spock, Corvette, Turbo
Corvette]. The OS, that's something else.

Interesting, thanks for the point in the right direction with the link! Right now with just the Snark and the Spock installed, and the onboard IDE, Serial, LPT1 all disabled, SpeedSys still locks up on ISA PnP port 223

This I want to try:
* I have an Adaptec card that I have and see if makes things more stable.
* I have another model 80, with a factory planar and hypertech 486 upgrade. I'll see if I get the same behavior (speedsys locking up and/or the weird sound cut outs/static with doom2, sb installer test failing for FM)
* No other cards but the snark installed, everything else removed or disabled. I'll boot dos from a floppy and try to run speedsys and see how things
* Test each interrupt

As a side note, I found that the 1MB modules that came with this SPOCK that I picked up on eBay or not compatible The card wouldn't see drives and threw errors. As soon as I put in 256KB modules it would pass diags and recognize drives. /sigh

ISA PnP port 223

I have dallied about, trying to figure out what, if any, benefits for installing MCA system components. MCA PIC, system timer, a few others.
No discernible difference. Methinks they are merely stubs pointing to an
ISA PnP whatsit.

I've flittered about, trying [and failing] to understand WHAT
information a PNP file presents to a system. Epic FAIL!

hypertech 486 upgrade

Gung-ho! You can't wait to get it working with a 8580 and a 386, so slap
on a Hypertech! Add on some extra signal tomfoolery, what could go wrong?
