Oh SCSI Wizards....
  I have been tearing out my hair (what little is left) 
trying to replace my DX/2-66 motherboard with a DX/4-133.
 The bios boot hanges when The first disk acces should be 
taking place. This is with a BusLogic BT445C SCSI controller. 
The only cmos setting that works is to disable the internal 
cache in the cpu (makes it a lot slower...).

But there is a niggling thought that says I read something in hackers that indicated 
VLB controller got flakier as the cpu speed went up.

  ? > Is it time to bit the bullet and go to PCI? There seem to be a lot of campatibility
       issues with PCI, nicht var?
