What motherboard did you use with the Nightingale? What other cards
were in your system? I'm using the Nightingale in an Asus P2B w/Celeron
A 400, Intel PCI Pro 100 Ethernet, Adaptec 2940AU SCSI and Elsa Gloria
Synergy AGP video card. Some people have reported problems like yours,
and I'm wondering if the Nightingale just doesn't work well with some
systems.
