Ouch! Does anyone know what the problem is?
No
Also, do you recall which models any of those mainboards were?
every model I've had with a 3V pci bus.
Aha, a 5V PCI card will likely cause problems if plugged into a 3V bus, although that's not supposed to be possible thanks to the differently keyed connectors.
yeah, but even a plan ol' pci 32 bits slot @ 33 mhz on the supermicro boards we have won't tolerate a post card. I haven't look enough to know what's up here. Serial POST was my fix -- I like that better anyway.
To be at least a little future proof (who knows how long PCI will live) I fully intend to make it a real Universal board that works equally well in 5V and 3V systems, without any configuration required. This is possible within the PCI specification.
good plan.
Any particular reason to specifically choose a BASIC Stamp rather than e.g. a PIC?
PIC is fine. Something you can program would be cool
Has all email to/from the list been coming through correctly the last 12 hours? I'm not sure if I got some duplicates and delayed messages?
