Are you sure you don't have any conflicts with the >I/O addresses? I'm sure the termination is ok, and tried the card in all VLB slots, especially the bus-master slot. I tried a few of the many (16?) I/O addresses, with no change. All the addresses are pretty high, anyway (over $1000). After giving up on the 2.1 CDROM drivers, I tried the latest aic7770 drivers, with slightly different error messages. One fellow suggested that I try different wait states, etc. on the motherboard, but nothing changed.... Argh! Thanks anyway for the reply. -Richard rhodges@alpine.alpine.net
