HELP. Rendition -dma switch won't load in DOS. Crash on exit in Kali.

6 posts by 4 people · 09 Dec 1996 - 17 Dec 1996

Nascar 2 will run with the -dma switch in a MS-DOS box under Win95 but it will not run when I boot in DOS 6.22. Anybody know a fix for this? Problem 2 is that when I run nasrend with Kali in Win95 when I exit Nascar2 my monitor goes to sleep and I have to reboot. Problem 3: When I run nasrend with KaliDOS, Nascar2 will exit properly but I lose my Kali PPP connection. Who invented the phrase User Friendly?

2 choices: 1) boot to Win95 and exit to DOS 7 2) get a copy of dmadiag (I think its on Eric Bush's home page) and run it before you run renddma. Either solution works for me. That's a rendition problem, no current fix for it. The same thing happens when you run any dos program with Kali loaded. David *** You're only young once, but you can stay immature forever ***

Get it at the Late Night website (URL in my sig). Not necessarily. I have an Asustek P/I-P55T2P4 motherboard with a P200 chip and a Reactor. DMADIAG reports fifo around 14MB/s and DMA around 84 MB/s, but I _still_ can't run INDYFAST.BAT from DOS 7 unless I first boot up Win95 and then exit to DOS ... go figure. I have second to latest BIOS from Award (haven't got around to upgrade that) and latest (v74) from Intergraph ... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated ... -- Henrikki (Hena) Hakkanen Tel. ?(9)0-345 5538 -------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Opinions expressed here are mine and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer

Have you tried running DMADIAG just prior to running INDYFAST? That has solved the problem for nearly every person who's had the problem. I just added DMADIAG to my batch file to run ICR2 and N2 and it works flawlessly every time. Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

Sure have! But in my case it doesn't make any difference. I'm totally clueless of what to do. Weird thing is that VQuake run perfectly with DMA enabled directly from DOS, but ICR2 doesn't (still waiting N2 to reach Finland ...) -- Henrikki (Hena) Hakkanen Tel. ?(0)9-345 5538 -------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Opinions expressed here are mine and does not necessarily reflect those of my employer!
