The PCI slots in the StarMax computers are on a 'riser' card which is
mounted to the motherboard. PCI slot 1 is the one closest to the
motherboard.
Dear List
The story first.
I have a StarMax 4000/200 (tower) in which I intend to install a orange
link + firwire1394+USB PCI card, for the connectivity upgrading!
Prior to doing this and have it run, I have successfully installed
updates from 8.1 to 8.5 to 9.1. This is so the card works (which
requires a minimum of OS 8.6!)
Question.
In the literature for installing the card it says that it is recommended
it goes in PCI slot number one, and if a PCI SCSI card exists there it
should be moved down to make way! The question therfore is which is slot
numbr one??
I have no detailed recollection of the insides of the machine since I
last opened it up however, I do currently have one of the bays with a
connection I use for the external zip drive and it is defiantly in a
forward position, yet I am not sure if this will turn out to be bay one?
Are they numbered?
I have looked at the manual for the machine and there is not much of a
clue, unless I missed it!
Well, has anyone any advise to follow that would have me confirm to
myself which is bay one when I have that machine open?
Caveat . Please bear in mind I am no computer whizz, geek, brain or
nothing here. Just an honest bod upgrading as economically as I know
how!
