I have a QDI Explorer I. QDI has a Y2K patch for the Explorer II.
Their tech told me (also verified by their Web Site) that there is
no Y2K BIOS for the Explorer I but assured me that Explorer II Y2K
BIOS will work with Explorer I motherboards. Two weeks later I
purchased a 2940UW and FreeBSD wouldn't boot. I restored the old
BIOS and FreeBSD was able to boot. I suspect that there may be
some timing problems on the bus or as you suggest a bus mastering
problem.
