Hi,
Finally I decided to get the NCR53c810 controller instead of the AHA2940
but I have a big problem:
My Pentium 100Mhz motherboard (uses an SIS chipset and the Award 94 BIOS)
does not recognize the NCR SCSI controller. We have change most of the
BIOS parameters and we have enable/disable the built-in IDE controller
that comes with the motherboard.
I see my PCI-NCR53c810 uses the IRQ11 and it is no possible to change it
to another one. Anyway after the memory test the computer hangs and it
does not appear the NCR message.
Do you know what's going on?
Maybe the SIS chipset is not compatible at all?
If I cannot solve the problem do I need to get a new motherboard or simply
get the 2940?
PLEASE, any advice will be welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Felix
