I got a ASUS PVI-486AP with 486DX2-66 and 16M ram.

When I boot up the machine with the boot disk, I got a message like that

CACHE test : failed ...... host write -1
CACHE test : failed .....  ncr write -1
.... etc

The the system can't detact any scsi drive nor any partations whatsoever.

I have no ideas at all. Can anyone knows what had happened and help ?

By the way the SCSI card and all the SCSI devices are test okay with DOS 
and as a NOVELL server. The jummper setting and the terminators on the
cables are tested okay as well.


Any help is welcome and with thanks.
