I subscribed to this list in the middle of this thread, so I missed the exact details about your board. But here is some info you might find interesting...
If you do have a PCI 1.0 slot, I would imagine that would be a problem...I think the spec was still pretty much incomplete at this stage of development, and I don't think anyone actually implemented it. As far as I know, the first PCI mobos were based on the "Saturn" (chipset identifiers end in "ZX" on these boards) 486 Intel chipsets circa 1994, which was after the PCI 2.0 spec was released. However I recall these boards had a lot of PCI problems and went through several revisions. I suspect the PCI implementation on any pre-Pentium board are probably shaky at best...PCI 2.1 did fix a lot of problems and roughly corresponded to the release of the Pentium (late '95). Anyhow, hope this helps you some...if you wanna send me some specifics on the motherboard, I can probably come up with something a little more concrete :) Rob Peinert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] DVD For backup... (more) The more I think about my system, the more I believe that its PCI slot must be PCI 1.0. The other slots are ISA. My USB 2.0 card that is not working, I have discovered requires a PCI 2.1 slot. I think this is why my DVD burner is not showing up, or is acting irratically. The DVD burner can also connect with IEEE 1394 (FireWire). But all the 1394 cards I find on the web are PCI (and I worry that it is really PCI 2.x). I can't find an ISA one. So I wonder if I am stuck with my older motherboard not being able to support a newer DVD burner. Any thoughts? Thanks Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
