I have a Zeos Pantera that was purchased as a P5-66 and upgraded to 90Mhz 
with that silly little daughtercard.  I recieved my replacement CPU from 
Intel today (to fix the bug), and installed it.  I now get Trap 000d's in 
OS/2 non-stop, with cache on and off.  I have 16MB RAM, a Adaptec 2940 
SCSI card, and a Diamond Viper card.  I think it has to do with the 
crappy design on the daughtercard, I had problems with it before.  I need 
to know what I should do.  My computer was out of service for 2 months 
last time I had motherboard problems, and I cannot have this again.  I 
thought my problems with tech support were over, I hope everything goes 
quickly this time, hopefully some good response time on the newsgroup 
from the techinicians I see here, it would be greatly appreciated.  Is 
there a known problem with the voltage converter daughtercard and the new 
bug-free pentiums (mine has an active heat sink if that matters).  I am 
also wondering if I put the old bugged Pentium back in if I will have 
these problems.  thanks

Interesting.  Intel said the whole reason why Zeos owners had their chips 
delayed was so they could do a production run so that those motherboards that 
used the daughtercards would work.

well it is not a problem with the chip I don't think, it is the 
daughtercard, because I put the original chip back in, and it crashes.  I 
think that daughtercard is just WEAK as hell.  Anyway, i have about 20 
calls into Zeos, starting about a week ago, and I still have not recieved 
ONE callback.  This company sucks.    All I can run now is a brain dead 
OS, like DOS/Windows.  I wish they would give me one of the new 
motherboards so this daughtercard problem would end.  If they ever do get 
on the phone, they will have to send me a new motherboard, and this shit 
will go on forever.  I may end up buying a new motherboard, anybody have 
any suggestions on manufacturers?
