I notice that they are not listed in the Handbook under supported hardware. Can anyone tell me whether there are plans to support this chipset, and if so, what the status is? I've found various posts in -bugs and other lists mentioning this chipset in the past, but there seems to be no discussion of this for 5.x. All of our deployed units with 5.2.1 boot fine with this chipset, but 5.3 freezes on the ado: and acdo: messages in boot. Even CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work, requiring a manual shutdown. If anyone has worked on this problem, my company would be very interested in talking with you. Thanks, -- Rick Morris Application Developer MOS Imaging Systems rmorris@mos.us 305-779-1247 Direct Line
