Sheesh... Replace the third card (that all-singing, all-dancing multi-IO controller) by a stock ISA one. The VLB does only allow for two cards; the capacitive load with three cards is too high. :-( (For 40 MHz, only one card is allowed. For 50 MHz, only zero cards are allowed.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
