Not ready writing driver C
Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?</pre>
Please help me for this problem, what happened with my program?

Thanks a lot !

 

Please tell us more about the ARCnet card you installed to replace the previous ARCnet card.

Who is the manufacturer and what is the model number of the new ARCnet card?

Who is the manufacturer and what is the model number of the previous ARCnet card?

Did the card look like the one being replaced?

Did you set the hardware (Berg) jumpers on the new ARCnet to the same positions as on the old ARCnet card?

Did you set the DIP switches on the new ARCnet card to the same positions as on the old ARCnet card?

Did you make any modifications to F:\ARCNET.DAT?

What were the exact steps you performed when replacing the ARCnet card?

Did you try installing any new ARCnet card driver software on the HMI? (It should not have been necessary to do so, but did you?)

We need a lot more information to be able to help.

 

I'm sorry about my post yesterday, i have some mistaken.

Details of this problem :

I had a PC using Mark V (We have only ARCnet Card), but i don't have anything else for spare.

So I make a new PC to spare for this PC.
But BIOS system between two PC is different:
-Old bios : Phoneix awardbios
-New bios : Cmos

when i setup Arcnet card for new PC and make any modifications to F:\ARCNET.DAT then running it, it had error same my post yesterday.

Please help me!
Thanks a lot,

I'm sorry about my skill english, it very bad

 

No relation between arcnet card and the error message.
these error (Not ready writing driver CAbort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?) coming when there problem in driver c (you can solved it from bios).

I had replaced the pc (without arc net card )but the problem is looking for the old pc.

so first your pc should see the driver c, then tell us what happen.

thanks

 

No worries about the English skills, I think we're understanding you reasonably well.

It's a well-documented fact that any PC (any motherboard/microprocessor/BIOS) can be used to run MS-DOS and IDOS to allow the PC to become an <I> GE Mark V operator interface. In fact, many newer Pentium-class processors will not run IDOS at all.

It would seem you have tried to possibly re-use the old hard-drive from the <I> in a new PC and installed a "new" ARCnet card in the new PC.

There are just too many things we don't know about what you've tried to do. And, it's likely that we can never get your current configuration to work--more than likely, actually it's pretty certain that unless the planets and the sun and the tides and the currents and the deities are all in proper alignment that it would not be possible to help get this particular PC/ARCnet card combination working.

If you just took the ARCnet card from the <I> and put it in the new PC, I don't understand why you needed to change anything in ARCNET.DAT. And, if you did change something in ARCNET.DAT, why did you? We asked if the "new card" was the same as the old card, and you didn't respond to that, or most other questions.

For my part, I'm not willing to invest any further time in trying to help with this issue. There's just too much we can probably never know, and the back-and-forth would take too long and we would most likely end up with the same conclusion: The combination can't be made to work. IDOS and legacy ISA ARCnet cards just don't work in every PC, especially newer ones.

Best of luck in your endeavour.

 

Sorry for disturb all of you. Actual i want to install IDOS and old Arcnet Card to new computer. But not so easy to find the main board with ISA slot and PhonixAward Bios. So i try with the new Pentium III with ISA slot.

I make new computer with Dos6.22 boots and copy all data from old <I> to new computer. When i boot with new computer. I can see Mark V interface without Arcnet card. But when i plug Arcnet Card in. I see the error i've already explain "Not ready writing drive C"
