- Sounds like an overloaded local bus to me... could be anything
- from clocks to address/data to ready. It's really a much
- better idea to go with a m'board which already has the local
- bus video and IDE on the board. The plug-in boards give the
- illusion of being able to upgrade in the future or even allow
- a purchase before all of the boards are available, but most
- likely boards that aren't available won't be and the standard
- will change before any new updated boards are introduced.
