This is how I am using the a 53c810 >: $79 card in my system. Seem to be a lot of people out there who can get their NCR 810 cards to work.....I can't! I get a timeout on the first test, and some comments about checking that I'm using Int A. I am! My hardware is a TMC Triton P75 Award Bios motherboard and a Quantum SCSI drive (in addition to E-ide for booting) I have read the SCSI howto, and tried all combinations of edge/level, Int A,B,C,D, Automatic and manual IRQ allocation etc. Can ANYBODY tell me what to try next? (the card works perfectly under Dos/win3.1, Windows95, OS/2 2.0, OS/2 2.1, and OS/2 Warp in the same system) TIA
