Hi, I have 3 VLB cards, but I can't put them together.
1) ATI Winturbo VLB
2) Adeptec 2842A VLB SCSI controllor
3) Promise 4030VL-2 IDE cache controllor

After I turn on the computer, it passes the memory check. The the SCSI 
menu pop up. I can scan what I have through the menu (Conner 1GB and 
Toshiba cd-rom drive). After that the promise menu pop up checking the 
cache. I can correctly check out that I have a Maxtor 546 HD. I set the IRQ 
and BIO address different in both controllor cards. Problems than appear. 
After all those, a message "NO ROM BASIC SYSTEM HALTED". I then plug a 
bootable floppy in A: and reboot the machine. But the machine reports 
"non-system disk, please push button to continue" something like that. I 
have the following question:

1) does anyone have the similar experience?
2) Is it possible to put 3 VESA LB cards into 3 VLB slots?
3) Do anyone think this is the motherboard problem?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
