I tried this and have had no luck. Here is the saga: The first card is set to factory default and is an AHA1542C. The second has been moved to Port 0x240 DRQ 6 IRQ 9 and is an AHA1542B. After lots of fun-and-games while I actually got the card's strapping right :-), I can get the 1542C ^A-BIOS to do a diagnostic run on both cards and to probe for devices on both cards. Now - the first card works just fine. The second probes OK during FreeBSD boot, but hangs solid during the "waiting for SCSI devices to settle" pause. I have checked _everything_. The terminators are OK, the card works (strapped to factory default) in another machine, There are no DRQ/PORT/IRQ conflicts. The motherboard is a Megabyte G486 with an i486DX/50 and 16MB of RAM. Any clues? M -- Mark Murray 46 Harvey Rd, Claremont, Cape Town 7700, South Africa +27 21 61-3768 GMT+0200 Finger mark@grondar.za for PGP key
