Dave,
I posted this same message in your floppy post. I had the same board and was finally able to get it to work by disabling the HPT366 controller.

Here are the IRQ assignments for the board:

  • PCI slot 1 shares signals with the AGP slot.
  • PCI slot 2 shares signals with PCI slot 5.
  • PCI slot 3 shares signals with the HPT366 IDE controller.
  • PCI slot 4 does not share signals with anything
  • PCI slot 5 and HPT 366 use the same bus master signals. Therefore if HPT366 is enabled, you can't install a PCI card that will occupy the bus master signals into PCI slot 5.


Then you have the USB port to worry about also. Supposedly the HPT366 controller will share an IRQ with another in 3. Some things don't like to share. The SB is one of them. I would put the SB in slot 4 (start counting from the AGP slot). You may be able to stick the network card in 2. I would try those assignments. Do you have any other devices to stick in there? If it doesn't work, you may consider disabling the HPT366 (future ATA in the BIOS). You will lose some performance but the system will work. Keep us posted on your progress.
