Net: NIC off IRQ 3 (plasma COM2 owns it) -- pod no longer goes deaf in-game
The plasma serial2 addition put COM2 (IRQ 3) in conflict with nicirq=3: netnub phase worked, then BTL4OPT opened the plasma port and NIC RX died, so the pod never checked in to the console. NIC now on IRQ 10 in all net confs + NET.CFG INT 10 (both sides must agree). Verified live: two full console missions with plasma running. Also: launch_pod.ps1 prepends the Npcap dir to PATH itself (a bare shell gave "NO PACKET DRIVER FOUND"); net_diag.conf = packet-stack-only boot with the NCSA Telnet suite on E: for DOS-side TCP tests; net_loop.conf promoted to full production parity (sound + plasma + IRQ 10) -- the GO.BAT-style instant netnub relaunch is also what lets the console recover its zombie TCP session between missions (see NET-NOTES). NET-NOTES: full 7/08-09 forensics writeup (TAP RX counter lie, console IP .10, SBK re-upload measured, zombie-session mechanics). LAST.EGG = the operator's missions from tonight's runs.

## Post-reboot outage forensics + IRQ 3 conflict (2026-07-08/09)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A host reboot took the console<->pod link down for hours; every layer got
|
||||||
|
blamed before the real bug fell out. Findings, in the order they mattered:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **TAP-Windows V9 "Bytes received" is ALWAYS 0** -- the driver never counts
|
||||||
|
frames its user-mode app (SheepShaver) injects. Do not diagnose from the
|
||||||
|
adapter-status dialogs: read the bridge-miniport counters (they do count)
|
||||||
|
or sniff the wire (Npcap + ctypes; see render-bridge/probes/ for the
|
||||||
|
pattern). Bridge/TAPs/SheepShaver prefs were all healthy the whole time.
|
||||||
|
- **`NO PACKET DRIVER FOUND` at netnub = wpcap.dll not on PATH** of the shell
|
||||||
|
that launched DOSBox. launch_pod.ps1 now prepends
|
||||||
|
`C:\Windows\System32\Npcap` itself so no shell can reproduce this.
|
||||||
|
- **THE REAL BUG -- IRQ 3 double-booking:** the plasma readout (serial2 =
|
||||||
|
host COM2, added 2026-07-07) sits on IRQ 3, and the NE2000 was also on
|
||||||
|
`nicirq=3`. The netnub phase works (COM2 not yet open: ARP answered, egg
|
||||||
|
flows) -- then BTL4OPT opens the plasma port (`arg4=p`) and NIC RX dies
|
||||||
|
for good. Looks exactly like a mid-boot wedge. Fix: **NIC on IRQ 10** in
|
||||||
|
net_full.conf / net_diag.conf / net_loop.conf AND net-boot/NET.CFG
|
||||||
|
(`INT 10`) -- DOSBox device and ODI driver must agree. Verified: pod
|
||||||
|
stayed ARP-responsive through two full missions with plasma live.
|
||||||
|
- **Console's live IP is 200.0.0.10** (not .1 as assumed from the gateway
|
||||||
|
entry); it ARP-scans the cockpit roster slots (.11, .112-.120)
|
||||||
|
continuously while looking for pods.
|
||||||
|
- **Zombie console session between missions:** netnub exits after each
|
||||||
|
mission without closing TCP (no FIN -- the DOS stack just vanishes).
|
||||||
|
Console 4.10 keeps waiting on the dead socket; with the pod sitting at a
|
||||||
|
DOS pause for minutes, classic Mac TCP retransmit backoff grows to
|
||||||
|
multi-minute intervals and the console looks permanently wedged (silent
|
||||||
|
on the wire). Operator fix: relaunch the Console app (app only). Real
|
||||||
|
fix: behave like retail -- GO.BAT relaunched netnub within seconds, so
|
||||||
|
the console's early retransmissions hit the fresh stack and recover.
|
||||||
|
net_loop.conf (now FULL production parity: sound + plasma + IRQ 10) is
|
||||||
|
the conf to use for multi-mission sessions; verify console self-recovery
|
||||||
|
with it next time.
|
||||||
|
- **SoundFont upload measured (smldW device counters):** the game blindly
|
||||||
|
re-uploads the full SBK on EVERY netnub->game launch -- counter goes
|
||||||
|
3,513,581 -> exactly 7,027,162 per card, no validation read-back, so
|
||||||
|
pre-loading the cards cannot short-circuit it. BUT the re-upload itself
|
||||||
|
is only ~20-30s; the slow first boot is dominated by something else
|
||||||
|
(pacer question still open). Loading a new egg into the already-running
|
||||||
|
game does NOT re-upload.
|
||||||
|
- Manual mission-N start in the same DOSBox: `32rtm.exe -x` (saying
|
||||||
|
"resident" is fine) then `netnub -p -f btl4opt > nn.log`; TSRs and SET
|
||||||
|
env persist from the autoexec.
