Bridgeboard trouble again 🙁 Anyone help with the following. I'm using a 2386sx 25mhz bboard with a multi i/o svga board. This also has a floppy and IDE port. Everything works well except the IDE. Consequently this also means that my nice new 170mb Conner drive can't be used. I've tried both the video/ide card and the hdrive in another bboard, also a friends 486. Both work fine. Would you think that the problems suggest either a broken daughter board in my A3000 or a broken mother board as far as the IDE goes. On the other hand is there some address or IRQ that the IDE uses that maybe conflicting with something else. I'm not at all clued up on PC addressess. BTW, this is the 2nd bboard.
