I just got my downloaded the 2.1-SNAP boot floppy to check for
support  the Adaptec 3940 SCSI Controller (Thanks Justin) and 
when it was booting, i noticed it didn't see sio0 (it saw sio1).

COM1 (mouse) and COM2) modem work on everything else I use
(windows 95, windows NT, DOS/Windows)

I tried swapping the modem and the i/o card with the same result, 
sio0 not seen.

I have a Pentium 90 MB with Award Modular BIOS
Adaptec AHA 3940 PCI SCSI controller
ATI mach64 PCI video
SoundBlaster AWE32
Supra 28.8 Modem
and

S1366 PCI IDE and Fast I/O controller. (with IDE disabled, i am using 
it for flopppy, printer and serial port)

I  tried disabling the serial port on this card and using another ISA 
card with com1 enabled and it didnt see that one either.

If  I configure the I/O card to use 0x3F8 and IRQ 9 the probe 
works... if i switch it back to IRQ 4 it doesnt.

It is like something is stomping on IRQ 4, but i dont know 
what.... 

Both 2.0.5a (CD-ROM) and the 2.1-....-SNAP exhibit this behaviour??

has anyone else seen anything like this????

Thanks
Mark
