I  spent  some time checking out an  Endeavour  Board  yesterday, 
prior  to buying it. As the leads had not been provided, I  ended 
up  taking my own board out of the system unit and just  plugging 
everything  onto the new board. The new board was a ZIF socket  7 
and my own board is a ZIF socket 5. (Oddly, the numbering on  CPU 
speed was for slower CPUs on the Socket 7!)

Anyway, the problem I encountered was with the 2ry IDE controller 
socket.  I had my Conner 1.2GB drive on my own system,  connected 
to the 2ny controller and all worked fine. System booted up,  and 
auto-detected  the  hard  disk. When I swapped  the  boards,  the 
Socket  7 board could not see the hard disk. I checked setup  and 
nothing  I  did rectified this problem. When I plugged  my  drive 
into the 1ry socket, it *did* recognise the drive.

I  attached another drive, and same problem, the Socket  7  based 
board would see a hard disk on 1ry, but not on 2ry IDE. This  was 
not a problem on the socket 5 based board.

Is  this  a known problem, or something possibly unique  to  this 
particular socket 7 board?

Second question::

I  was  thinking  of getting a NCR810  SCSI  controller.  Is  the 
required BIOS built in to the Endeavour board?

I have several Endevour boards using both EIDE channels, both for
CD-ROM and HDD. Are you sure that the channel is enabled in BIOS.

Hmm. Gee....I don't know - is this a quiz? (Note the newsgroups)

If  it has been answered do tell, maybe I missed it...The  manual 
(disk  based) makes reference to a punch out for a SCSI-2, but  I 
can't find any reference to NCR.
