But that was two days ago :-) Sorry, deviating from old customs, I took two days off over the weekend, to find my mail inbox filled with >700 mails on Monday :) (honestly!)

A sustained xfer makes the cdrom } dismount the cd. I've contacted Symbios support on it. Shouldn't PCI } devices auto-configure anyway? Yes, PCI devices do. But your motherboard obviously didn't. That's not PCI's mistake. It's just the price you pay to have fully ISA compatible PCI cards (say the Buslogic 946C SCSI card) supported ... If you have a current generation Pentium PCI MB, then the PCI BIOS will assign one IRQ to each PCI device found, and you just have to specify which interrupts are available for PCI at all, not which one to use for each single slot. But given PC restrictions, this can make your ISA emulating PCI card break ...
