I know this isn't quite the place but "the people who know" are in here .. I have an old 486DX/4 motherboard that I was trying to squeeze two Adaptec 2842 controllers onto .. a small(-ish) news server. It has 3 VL slots but they're documented as "J18 & J19 are master 0, J20 is master 1". I tried the controllers in J18 & J19 but the second one has all sorts of bother, can't read IRQ correctly from EEPROM and selects 3.6 meg async for a Quantum Atlas 4.3G .. not quite what I was after :-( I couldn't take the machine down for longer than ~15 mins so I thought I'd ask here before making customers any more cranky .. do I have to have them in J18 & J20 for this to work ? michael
