I forgot to say the controller card was vesa local bus.
I've tried another controller card (isa) and it worked fine
are there any known problem with vlb cards ?
is there a patch to solve the problem ?
it's obviously a software problem, because it works fine with msdos.
i'm still looking for a solution, the isa card is not mine.
maybe, i'll try with Linux :P
(i hope i'll have more answers this time...)
Thanx,
