Now I didnt see it on the Microsoft HCL list. But I was just curious if anyone is using the BH6 with Windows 2000 Pro without any problems. Id hate to have ot get a new board just to install Win2k ....
 
My BH6 1.01 works fine under Win2k, even better with ACPI disabled. ACPI caused some flakyness with my BH6, but it works beautifully without ACPI. In case you don't know how to disable ACPI, you must do it when installing Win2k, I've heard of major problems with switching to Standard HAL after installation. When the screen pops up that says 'Press F6 to install third party SCSI or RAID drivers', press F5 and select Standard PC & hit enter, *or* you can do the silent switch by pressing F7 when the F6 screen is there. Good luck
 
My BH6 Rev. 1.02 works just fine.

edit: and I didn't do anything special while installing Win2k. Just let it do whatever it wanted to do. It set itself up as Standard PC, not ACPI. Maybe that's because I had ACPI disabled in the BIOS (version SS) before I started?
