I loaded the latest bios and firmware. Chipset drivers? I just run a
relative recent version of linux on it (2.4.16 maybe, but when I was having
the trouble it was probably something like 2.2.21).
If memory serves, it is a Tyan Tiger 100 also. Dual processor, BX chipset.
I'm just as glad to be rid of ISA in it, but at the time I couldn't really
afford the trouble.
