Well, I have been using a fair mixture of systems over the past
three months:
386/20DX ISA
386/25SX ISA
2 x P120 Endeavours
P133 Endeavour
486DX4-100 Mainboard PCI Bus 486
Ambra DX2-66
P24T-S VLB
486DX-33 VLB
486SX-25 VLB
The main problem has been the DX100- PCI Mainboard 486.
It's now got a Compaq 386/20s 256K VGA card in as a Stealth PCI
2MB VRAM produces *nothing* on the screen, not even setup.
Clearing CMS and specifying that VGA is in PCI just does not
help. Going back to the Compaq ISA card and putting a PCI SCSI
card in the machine (AHA2940) just results in the SCSI light
staying on....
Has anyone else had trouble with video cards in PCI slots this
way?
