Advansys Ultra Scsi Adapter and Intel BX Chipset

[StrikerJJB]

Has anyone ever had problems with these two working together.

My friend got an old advansys abp-940UA/abp960UA something like that and everytime we power it up in his machine it posts all the way to the scsi bios then at scsi bios just sits there.

So I thought okay maybe IRQ Conflict. Pulled all the cards except vid card/scsi card. Nothing. Chaned ID's on the drive, Unplugged the drive Nothing.

Stick it in both of my AMD rigs boots up flawlessly.

Any Suggestions would help.

the last 5 letters on the chipset are 443BX

You made sure it was in a bus master slot ... I think only the first 3 pci slots are busmaster...

I believe it was but will try again and let you know.

Is that only on the bx Chipset

Cause I plugged it into the last pci slot on my Athlon slot A and it booted up???

check to see if there's an updated bios for the card & flash it on your amd rig! also check in the m/board bios under pci configuration to see that scsi bios is set to auto!

The new chipsets have all pci slots busmastered.... not the bx (and older) though...
