In article <maxwella.857821104@helios>: |I want to thankyou very much. Indeed this was the problem.. I have found out |that both My VLB S3 video card and VLB I/O Controller are not on |talking terms when the bux speed is 40MHZ, however when the I/O card is by |it'self on the VLB buss, there are no probs at 40MHz.. | |So to get both working .. I simply dropped the bus speed from 40 to 33.. |Now I have lost 7 MHz of really required power but at least everything |is stable, and my floppy drives now work... | |Thanks | |Andrew 33 and 40 are the bus speeds not the CPU speed so only transfers across the bus are affected, not computing power. I don't think you will notice much of a difference. Anyway a slower machine that works all the time is preferable to a fast one that crashes a lot.
