Hi.  I get the same problem with my Future Domain TMC-830.  It says 0
devices detected.  I suspect that this has something to do with the
parameters not being in CMOS, and you have to force at boot.  Of course,
I could be wrong.  I have not gotten it working yet.  Dose anybody
have any suggestions?  Thanks, Eric
