Sean,
We are calling in the 101st.
Since last post we haven't had much opportunity, requirements of the work-a-day world.
I stitched up a BH6 box over at my fathers a couple of months ago so I know how easy it CAN be, I just don't know why this one is SO DAMN HARD!
Pardon, but two out of two bad mother boards? This is a little hard to believe.
So, we are left going through the basics. It seems to me as if it is choking before getting into "auto-detect", and this could be what? We will go through BIOS and ckeck/change any seemingly pertinent settings, floppy boot seek on with no floppy, is BIOS finding HD, BIOS peripheral settings, BIOS IRQ allocation, flip ALL the switches. Then we will try a third BH6, then different DIMM, then a regular PII 350, then an Engineering team from Scott AFB...
And if we still don't have a working BH6, we send a pipe bomb (satire) to Abit and go into the corn field and commit Hari-Kari.
