Hi,
have to ask this for a friend.
Here we go:
Hardware:
- SOYO-Pentium-mainboard
- Adaptec 2940 without floppy-connector
- IO-card with floppy-controller
Symptoms:
- When booting with the above hardware, the memory gets checked
by the BIOS correctly and then when the Adaptec is in turn,
the bootup-process just stops before the Adaptec gets active
to scan the SCSI-devices and the machine hangs.
- the happens with a different floppy-controller.
- when taking any floppy-controller out of the machine, the
BIOS-bootup gets to the Adaptec, the Adaptec installs his BIOS
without problems and the machine runs fine.
Question:
- Anyone else had similar problems and knows a solution or a
workaround ?
- What component is the troublemaker (MB / AHA-2940 / FD-controller)
?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Darius Moos.
