- This error means that two BusMaster adapters are both claiming the bus
- at the same time. Neither one is willing to let it go.
- Check to make sure that all BusMaster Adapters have the fairness
- set ON.
-
- What other BusMaster adapters do you have installed. Make sure
- to include any internal ESDI or SCSI drives.

- This may be caused by the size of the data being sent to the SB PRO.

- : Sorry, I have the same problem and have been researching it for some time
- : now. It looks as if Creative Labs made mistake #10223 in designing the MCA
- : card. THEY DIDN'T DECODE ALL 16-BITS OF ADDRESS!!!!!
-
- What machine do you have that it only has a 16 bit address space.
- All PS/2s have either a 24-bit address space and a 16-bit data bus;
- or a 32-bit address space and a 32-bit data bus.
-
- : Plus, the tech support phone is always busy!
- : I'm ready to send the damn thing back. Quite annoying.
- : One thing I did find...
- : If you have enough RAM, then if you run some of these programs that
- : crash from VDISK or RAMDISK, then they will work.
- : Just curious, do you have s SCSI adapter/disk?
-
- If this is true, it may be that there is a arbitration dispute between
- your drive adapter and the SB PRO. What are the arbitrations levels
- set at for these BusMaster adapters?
-
- : I think this may be one problem, but not sure.
