I tried swapping cards, moving the SCSI controller to slot 2 and the S3 to slot 1. In any combination where the SCSI card has a higher slot number than the S3 the machine will boot, up to the point where FreeBSD inserts it's own device drivers. The I will see a message similar to: ncr0: CACHE CONFIGURED INCORRECTLY I haven't tried MS-DOS in this situation, but then again it'd probably work just fine and that would freak me out %-) Groetjes, Kees Jan
