You suppose wrong. That was the whole point of my original posting on this topic. I bought one of these ASUS PVI-486 SP3 motherboards with the SP-200 SCSI controller card (which uses the NCR 53c810 chip). I bought it on February 10th, and tried to boot that day's 2.0 snapshot on it. It finds everything on the PCI bus twice, tries to search for drives on the second (phantom) SCSI controller and hangs. -- Curt Sampson a09878@giant.rsoft.bc.ca Opinions are mine, Fluor Daniel Wright, Ltd. 604 488 2226 not Fluor Daniel's. 1075 W.
