I think the same problem exists for the 7I43. Sebastian could not get the same card I tested as working to do anything under linux. The LAVA hardware seems to work fine (I had no trouble downloading bitfiles to the 7I43 or running loopback tests for days with a DOS test jig) My guess is that either the current drivers do something to the card that breaks it, or the probe parport breaks it. One thing unusual about the card is that it comes up in EPP mode, so it worked under DOS without any register access other than the normal EPP registers > -- > Kirk Wallace > http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ > http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html > California, USA > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises > looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest > innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
