Dave,
Configuring EISA systems is a bit more involved than ISA systems. There is
still a CMOS setup required, via the usual keystroke during boot sequence.
In addition, you must run an EISA configuration program, which is supplied
by the motherboard manufacturer. This configuration replaces the setting of
jumpers and switches on the motherboard _and_ for all EISA boards. I
strongly recommend that you make a bootable floppy disk and copy all the
EISA configuration programs and files to it. Then make another copy and
leave it inside the case. If you have a problem and can't find that disk,
you're SOL.
We seem to be in a period of much trouble with graphics cards these days.
It seems like almost all the producers are having great difficulty gettings
display systems to consistently work right with Windows. I missed the
information about the 1 Mb Graphite. What did Jim Carleton say the problem
was?
Could it be that Terminator II is like what I've been reading in WINNT forum
about double-terminating NEC CD-ROM drives? <g>
