Now I don't actually know if the right pin file is on the 5i25. I am lacking a bit of understanding on that I think. but these cards were not a plug and go kit. like last time. and I am using pci express not pci this time. also I have taken a photo of the computer in the next email to show any glaring errors people find eg wrong pci express slot.

This means that the firmware loaded on the 5I25 is not correct. it needs to be flashed with firmware for a 7I77:
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --write 5i25_7i77x2.bit --reload Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
