Yes. :) The board at home which gets all the serial/modem traffic is an S3 board. The one at work is a Matrox. :) > And to stick up for S3, I use 801 ISA, 805 VLB and Trio64V+ PCI based > video in various machines and have seen no serial port interference from > any of them. But the borrowed Matrox caused silo overflow problems. The board that causes silo overflows due to Xfree86 is a 928 (old) board. But, it also had problems when it had an 801 board in it.
