Elbox is releasing their 100% compatible P96 driver today : Comment 22 of 31 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christophe Decanini on 13-Feb-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 20 (the man in the shadows): I just want to mention I use 7 zorro cards without any problem.
For a while I had 5 gfx cards + AGA working perfectly.
Does anyone tried 7 PCI or 5 Gfx cards on a PC without any problem ?
I'am sure you get problems before getting to this point.
I experienced many times issues on PC where all possible IRQ / adresses where taken and there were no possibility to have all cards working together.
M$ plug and play try to solve it and fail, you have a little more chance to do it by hand.
But I don't think it it is PCI specific as I never get this problems in a 6 PCI Macintosh clone.
What is missing to current Amiga PCi cards is a bootrom with code to get to the PCI devices.
I think Amigaone will do it so you can for example boot an SCSI drive attached to a PCI SCSI card.
I don't see how the mediator could do it.
I hope we won't need to ask adaptec to do a special bios to do it. |
