Is that in a ASUS Pentium Motherboard?  I did try the thing in a PCI
486 board and it worked fine, I tried it in both P/I-P55SP4 and
P/I-P55TP4N motherboards and it failed miserably.  I had someone else
try it in their ASUS Motherboard (not sure of the model) and he said
it worked ok.  So it seems, as with a lot of PC hardware, YMMV.

I did make sure I had the latest bios & etc.  I did get it working
with a 486 and hence had a "known good" set of scsi cables, devices
and so on.  I could never get the thing to work properly - the best it
would do was, under DOS, sort of read the disk but when you tried
loading something it would lock up and cause massive corruption on the
DOS file system (my backup tape got a real work out during this time ;-)

All I can say is that I had nothing but trouble with the SC200 card,
as soon as I put a different NCR card in the machine everything worked
fine and has been doing so for months.  This is with a P/I-P55TP4N
motherboard.

BTW during this playing I found there is a _big_ speed difference
between the SiS and the Triton motherboards, at least with the two I
tried there was.  About a factor of 2 in favour of the Triton!
