Elbox is releasing their 100% compatible P96 driver today : Comment 20 of 31 | ANN.lu |
Posted by the man in the shadows on 13-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 18 (Marcel): A true autoconfig card has the hardware addressing schemes assigned by the bus rather than the cards determining the location that they need. A good example is to load up 5 PCI slots with nothing but a graphics card and 4 different SCSI controllers. I can guarantee that it will not work since most of the scsi controllers will try and take memory allocation from areas that the memory card already takes at boot. The result would be three long solid beeps with little or no output to the monitor. The only reason why the PicassoII card needed drivers is due to the fact that there are no native RTG layers available in the Amiga ROM. If you were to plug in a A2058 board on an Amiga it's instantly available at boot. On a PC, you have to tell it that the board exists with drivers and check to see what address it is taking on the chain. See the difference? |
