Hello It was a Geforce 2 by some cheap company, i now have a geforce3 from ELSA that works well, i dont know about adaptec, maybe you should contact them about that..?
IDE cdrom booted, but locked up half way thu loading installer, cdr was fine, and new cdrs did not work either, maybe a dma issue. If tyan provided good support i would be able to give you answers instead of guessing. You know who to talk to about that then.. :) Or vote with your money if they do not.
