I've spent some weeks configuring several EV boards with both ISA and PCI VGA cards. The PCI cards have all been one version or other of the DS VRAM 2MB card. Today I tried a Creative ST300 Videoblaster as well as a WD ISA 1MB card. IRQ for the RT300 defaults to 10 so I told the BIOS that 10 was to be allocated to ISA. To be safe, I gave 9 to the ISA WD card too. After 10 hours with onoy one lucky, ephemeral period where Premiere LE saw the RT300's driver, I finally gave up. Sometimes the system would bleep three times and not boot, others the video screen showed nothing but it looked like it was booting otherwise.. I've encountered this problem with the video cards on the EV several times in recent weeks. I used to thnk it might be a problem with the cards not being seated in the slots properly, but now I'm not so sure. Hqas anyone else encountered these Video card problems, and does anyone know what it might be? Anyone got an RT300 running in a 120MHz pentium based EV board?? If so, what IRQ and memory address? Any EMMExclude areas? -- David Longley
