    Working...
    
    I've confirmed that the SIS5501/2/3 chip set supports 4 PCI bus masters
    (not necessarily 4 PCI slots mind you), but your chip reference is to
    SIS510x so I have to dig deeper.  SIS510x doesn't ring a bell with the
    support engineer with whom I checked.  We thought all Venturis 5xxx
    machines used the same chip SIS550x set, albeit at various steppings in
    its lifetime.  I'll have to find one of the system engineers...

    re: ARAFAT::ASUNDQVIST
    
    Anders,
    
    My alternate sources also say the chip set is SIS550x, so the best
    answer I can give is that yes, the system does support bus-master PCI.
