Eron,
1) What motherboard are you using? (Give model, part number or any other form
of positive ID)
MF: ASUS PCI/EISA 90/100 dual cpu. Don't have model # handy.
2) Was it easy to get it working with the Perception Video Recorder?
MF: Not bad. Using the last PCI slot I could avoid the CPU sockets.
3) How many PCI slots does the motherboard have?
MF: 4
4) Does the Perception daughterboard overlap one of the PCI slots so that you
cannot use it for another card?
MF: No, but it blocks an EISA slot. I don't have enough slots for a sound card
since I have an IDE I/O card, a Network card, etc. It might be possible to
re-arrange to fit everything but sound isn't critical for me. If I used a PCI
network card instead of EISA, I could get a slot back for sound.
5) Where did you get your motherboard?
MF: Cornell Systems (now defunct). However ASUS is very common via mail-order
suppliers.
6) Do you recommend this board?
MF: Yes, with one reservation: I'd prefer one with on-board i/o to free up a
slot, so I could have my sound back. But this one works.
