I found this message in the als archives. http://hyppo.screwdriver.net/show.phtml?id=119845 Summary: I had quite a few conversations via email with David Sowa at Ensoniq, ran a boatload of tests, found that the card worked fine in a different system, swapped cards, and finally learned the answer. Turns out that there's a hardware bug in one batch of one vendor's codecs, which causes them to lock up if the PCI reset-line timing is just so. The ALI chipset in my ASUS motherboard tickled the bug, while the Intel chipset in my test system at work did not. I have been watching the list to see if anybody has found a solution to the problem. I've had at least 4 reports of the new PCI128 not working with an ASUS board. > > > -- > Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl > The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; > Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best > Learn e-mail netiquette: http://www.lemis.com/email.html > We do not count a man's years, until he has nothing left to count...
