If we insert a card without BIOS for pc98, the > machine hangs up. A PCI card which have PC/AT architechture BIOS without pc98 consideration makes a pc98 hang, but a PCI card without BIOS does not make pc98 hang. So, disk controllers without consideration for pc98 are guilty. PCI NICs are mostly OK.
