- Ok. This bit about you having a 486 may be the problem. Can anyone else
- using a 486 and the Seagate card let me know if you have a working
- combination? ie: let me know if it has failed, or if it hasn't failed for
- you.
-
- Do either of you guys have any other SCSI devices attached to your card, or
- is it only being used for the SyQuest?
