This is not normal for the 946C, mine has *never* reported to be on the EISA bus, and has *always* reported to be at I/O address 330. I have seen an EISA board with 14 slots. 15 actually. I think what Julian was stating is that all 32 bit btXXX cards report: PCI/EISA/VLB(32bit) bus Because they all have the board ID ``E''. > > Do you have the BIOS enabled on the bt card?

E800 is not a valid address accourding to my 946C manual, or at least not a valid I/O address. (330,334,230,234,130,134 is what it lists). Do you have the ``Set Host Adapter I/O Port Address as Default'' set to YES? Also from looking in the book there is an option ``Enable Fast Transfer'', this must be set to YES to get sync mode. Whould you please tell me the state of jumpers JP4 and JP5. I don't even see E800 as a valid BIOS address. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
