When I put a single SMC CARD with the following configuration: IO: 220 IRQ: 10 ADR MAP: D000 all work fine, and with an other one too (IO: 240 IRQ: 15 ADR MAP: D4000). But putting the 2 SMC cards together bring me to the following panic message appeared at boot time (Ethernet cards are seen and identified): panic: bhacc missing mbif syncing disks... So after several tests, and BIOS settings, on different machines (PCI based) with different equipment (RAM, HD, net cards, SCSI cards, etc...) I get exactly the same results. Can you tell me what could I do (what settings, changes or whatever) ? How the PCI<->SCSI card irq can be assigned to 11 (PCI negociation) if I exclude this one in the BIOS (used by ISA CARD)! What could you advice me in the large BT-946C settings (int PIN, BIOS related options, etc...)? Nota: I succeed configuring my gateway Box with a 486DX2 with VLB Bus (BT-445C SCSI Card), so the trouble seems to come from the PCI settings negociation. Thanks for your help.
