I havent no luck for finding online information for my Tekram DC-226 floppy / SCSI isa controller.
What i did found was some files needed to getting this card working in DOS.

I have been in stason.org, theretroweb, minuszerodegrees.. And ending up with google with actually nothing related.

Like to know if someone knows a resource for looking to.

Its nice to have a manual or some more information about this card.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Found nothing. The web archive of Tekram from 1997 does not list it and their old ftp never got archived AFAIK...
Can you post a good picture please ?

Two files for utilities and roms here: http://files.mpoli.fi/hardware/HDD/TEKMAR/

The DC-226 is based on the NCR chip. It is not a bus mastering SCSI
controller. TekRAM, the manufacturer of this board is providing ASPI
drivers for this board. The board has an on board bios to emulate
WD1003 command set, with a setup/translation much like an ESDI controller.
It is a good performer, capable of handling synchronous mode conversation.
TekRAM will be releasing a cached version of this controller soon. They have
been producing an intelligent cached IDE controller, the DC-600 for about a
year.

The DC226 should retail for about $180US. This product is aimed at the
mid-end SCSI market. It is a full 16-bit adapter unlike the SUMO, or ST01/02.

Hope this is clear enough

I really hope i could find some information on this onboard jumper settings.

I know this card was made in the year the 286 was on the market.
Iam also want to use it in a 286 without IDE tables in motherboard bios.

Which websites like stason.org like can i search on to try to find this card for the jumper settings.
