The stability of the 5 V line is probably more important (or the noise on the ground potential while stronger currents are flowing) than the absolute value. > FDC is a Winbond W83877F, 630AC262126202.

If yes, is it enabled or disabled ? I'm too lazy to reboot right now, but i can't find it in a `strings' running on the BIOS ROM image. Here's what seems to be the PNP/PCI menu on this board: PCI Latency Timer : Slot 1 (RIGHT) IRQ : Slot 2 IRQ : Slot 3 IRQ : Slot 4 (LEFT) IRQ : Auto NA 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 IRQ 3 Used By ISA : IRQ 4 Used By ISA : IRQ 5 Used By ISA : IRQ 9 Used By ISA : IRQ 10 Used By ISA : IRQ 11 Used By ISA : IRQ 15 Used By ISA : IRQ 7 Used By ISA : IRQ 12 Used By ISA : IRQ 14 Used By ISA : DMA 1 Used By ISA : DMA 3 Used By ISA : DMA 5 Used By ISA : No/ICU Yes ISA MEM Block BASE : No/ICU C800 CC00 D000 D400 D800 DC00 ISA MEM Block SIZE : This is for some ISA Add-on cards whose UMB can't be auto-detected. NCR SCSI BIOS : USB Function : Auto Disabled > When I disable `Passive release', the errors during formatting disappears. Whatever this might be... I'm not a PCI expert. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
