After escalating a problem with a 3940W & NT 4.0, Adaptec basically duplicated the problem, then Tyan, then Award. We were shipped a AMI flash for the Tomcat III and everything works great. Please note that the problem we had was that any drives that were on the second channel were not available to the OS. Unfortunately the machine is in production and I can't do any testing with FreeBSD at this point. I just wanted to let everyone know that AMI BIOS does exist. As a last note, we received the new flash last week 4/2/97. --mikej Michael Jung mikej@finall.com >---------- >From: vanmaren@fast.cs.utah.edu[SMTP:vanmaren@fast.cs.utah.edu] >Sent: Sunday, April 13, 1997 1:40 AM >To: Bruce.Albrecht@seag.fingerhut.com; terry@lambert.org >Cc: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org >Subject: Re: Tyan ATX 1668 > >>> I've got one of these on order, and I understand that there's a >>> problem with the 5th PCI slot, which is not currently a problem for me >>> since I'm currently planning to use 3 slots.
