This is sorta confusing. The AutoSCSI utility works, so the BIOS must be accessible, but the AutoSCSI says it is "Disabled" and offers no way of changing it. > Do you have the ``Set Host Adapter I/O Port Address as Default'' set > to YES? Tried it both ways. When set to Default, it detects it as a ISA card. When set to disabled, and FreeBSD is set to use base port e800, it detects it a EISA card. > Also from looking in the book there is an option ``Enable Fast Transfer'', > this must be set to YES to get sync mode. There are all on YES. > Whould you please tell me the state of jumpers JP4 and JP5. They are both off. I tried a couple different configurations with just JP4 on, or just JP5 on, but the machine reached the Buslogic screen and just stopped. The AutoSCSI util reports that the BIOS is at C800 > I don't even see E800 as a valid BIOS address. It is the IO port, not the BIOS address. I never refered to it a BIOS address. Tom
