Product Support Bulletin

Subject: Proper Method for Running Benchmark and Diagnostics Programs

Date: 06/04/93 PSB No: S-0158

Page(s): 1 of 1 Originator: MWT

This bulletin describes the proper method for running any benchmark or diagnostics

programs. This applies to any computer system.

In most cases, the computer should be started using an MS-DOS boot diskette

that’s ‘clean’ -

in other words, one with no CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

The appropriate executable can then be run, either from diskette or hard drive.

There will be some exceptions to the above rule. In attempting to benchmark or

troubleshoot any add-on that requires a device driver (CD-ROM, local area network,

etc.), obviously the necessary device driver(s) must be loaded. Also, some

programs will require a minimum number of FILES or BUFFERS to be defined in

the CONFIG.SYS file. Such programs will usually display this requirement if they

are run without the necessary CONFIG.SYS file.

For the most consistent results, use the absolute minimal boot configuration that’s

allowed by the hardware being tested.

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide the 80386 Accelerator board test

results, conducted by the Computer Product Support Center, involving the

SOTA 386si from SOTA Technology, inc.

The Equity models tested were the Equity I, Equity II Equity I + and Equity le.

The Apex models tested were the Apex, Apex Plus and Apex 100. All were

tested with Norton Utilities and MS - DOS.

The table below shows compatibility and the Norton SI rating of the

various systems.

Installation of the board in most of the units was quick and simple to do when

following the installation instructions accompanying the boards. Installation of

the SOTA 386si in the Equity I and the Equity II is rather difficult. Due to the

amount of disassembly required, we strongly recommend that only Authorized

Service Centers install the board in the Equity I and Equity II.

Installation Instructions

Equity I

1. Remove the following from the main unit:

a) upper case

b) rear panel

c) front panel

d) FDD/power supply block.

2. Follow instructions for a standard installation for the SOTA 386si in an

8088 - based system.

Take care to fold the SOTA connector cable so as

not to prevent reassembly.

The cable is sturdy and will tolerate being

folded.

3. Reassemble the main unit and go through the testing and initialization

procedure outlined in the SOTA manual.

Equity II

1. Remove the following from the main unit:

a) upper case

b) rear panel

c) front panel

d) FDD/power supply block.

2. Follow instructions for a standard installation for the SOTA 386si in an

8086 - based system.

Take care to fold the SOTA connector cable so as

not to prevent reassembly. This will necessitate routing the cable so that it

does not conflict with the power connection to the main system board.

The cable is sturdy and will tolerate being folded.

3. Reassemble the main unit and go through the testing and initialization

procedure outlined in the SOTA manual.

controller. It was able to support one or two external

disk drives (daisychained) together. The external drives

could be used as high density (1.2M and 1.44M) or

normal (360K and 720K) disk drives.

two external disk drives (daisychained) together. The

external drives could be used as high density (1.2M and

1.44M) or normal (360K and 720K) disk drives.

NOTE:

The recommended switch settings for the OmniBridge controller are

as follows:

1-1 DOWN 2-1 DOWN

1-2 DOWN 2-2 DOWN

1-3 DOWN 2-3 UP

1-4 DOWN 2-4 UP

These settings select NO ADDRESS for the OmniBridge BIOS and

allow it to coexist with the internal FDC of the computer in which it

is being installed.

This way you do not need to disable the internal

FDC or connect any cables from the OmniBridge to internal floppy

drives. This was found to be a universal setting for all of the

computers listed above as compatible with the OmniBridge controller.

Apex / Apex Plus / Equity Series Keyboards

Date: 4/19/89

Page: 1 of 1PSB No: S-0080

Originator: REM

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information on the various keyboards

used with the Apex, Apex Plus and Equity series computers and the part

numbers of the keyboard subassemblies used with these keyboards.

The Apex and Apex Plus computer keyboards are to be replaced as whole

units.

The Equity series keyboards are repaired to the subassembly level.

The

Equity III keyboard PCB assembly is the only one that comes with the key top

set attached.

Since some of the keyboards have the same model numbers, the difference

can be determined by the FCC ID number in those cases.

The chart below provides a quick reference to determine the part number of

the main keyboard PCB assembly, key top set, control logic subassembly, and

keyboard cable.
