Tyan tech support WON'T be any help. We did have 5 PCI cards in a S1662 (non-ATX version) that worked fine under FreeBSD 2.1.5 but I never tried SMP with 5 cards. (This is why I knew about the SMP table entries and the 5 slot stuff). I believe they were all bus-mastering, as we used an ISA video board. Kevin
