- No worry about this problem anymore. I got some advice and tips from
- Jim Drew and others about what the Emplant was expecting and power related
- problems with the A4000. It just turned out that I had not put in the
- board all the way into the Zorro slot. I could not see, as there were two
- other boards above it. But I pulled all the boards and started from
- scratch and inserted each one individually. Thus I found out that the
- Cybervison was hard to put into the third Zorro slot. So I exchanged it
- with another Zorro slot and made all the boards fit in. Thanks all to who
- gave me their input.
