3815.0. "Venturis FX and 3Com PCI board problems" by TIMAMD::LJFERNANDEZ () Tue May 20 1997 14:54

Hello!

I have a customer with ten Venturis FX 5133 and he wants to install a board 
3Com XL Combo PCI in everyone,but he has seen that if he puts the board in the
lower PCI slot (slot 2 i think) the system knows the board with diagnostics
diskettes (MS-DOS based) but WIN95 (preinstalled) doesn`t see it.

If the 3Com board is connected to the other PCI slot (upper PCI slot) WIN95
see the board and works fine.

I have connected a DE435 to both PCI slots and WIN95 sees it ok in both.

This happens in all the Venturis and with more than one 3Com boards and these 
boards works fine in other PCs (noDEC).

Wath is the difference between PCI slot 1 and 2 ?

Is there any known incompatibility between 3Com XL Combo PCI board and upper 
PCI slot on Venturis FX ??

DE435   IRQ10(IRQ11 IN THE OTHER SLOT)
