Re: CA/400 SDLC to AS/400 -- MIDRANGE-L

Neil

We have several machines running SDLC and WIN95.  They are all the 
same brand though.   I have no clue what a PAD is.  The trick 
is the PC.  The IBM card wants IRQ 3 & 4.  You have to move other 
devices out of the way.  We spent A LOT of time with IBM support 
before we got this to work.

I can email our instructions if you think it would help.
