Hi gang, Some of you inquired about incompatability between some DPT cards and some motherboards. I inquired too, and here is what I am being told. As soon as I get a workaround, I'll let you all know and fix the driver (if needed).

We also have a workaround (making the DPT BIOS immune to the are of the BIOS memory that they are trashing), but it has not been tested by our quality test group yet ...
