Could it initialize something funny? Or load misbehaving code in the SCSI chip? Am thinking if there is a BIOS upgrade for your board then this might be the time to give it a try. My Asus SC875 has Symbios's 4.0.11 BIOS, but there is a 4.3 (?) available for the download. *Had* to apply that upgrade to cards at work to get them to work in another Asus motherboard. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
