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.

Did you run linux off of that b4?  Perhaps that's the problem.
LILO can cause such an error.
