The brief overview...
I've restored an image to the HDD of a working Windows Image with Ghost,
so in theory all software possibilities are gone. This is an image I have
restored several times already, so I'm very sure it should be fault free.
I have tried each of my two EDS cards on their own. I have reseated the daughter
boards, cleaned off any dust or dirt from the cards, and tried both cards
with the MEC and the 442 which each have their own SCSI cable. As a last
attempt I switched C16's and unplugged the MEC/442 and used just an Interface
2 which I bought from Deej a while back. Same error still.
So three different interfaces, two different EDS cards, two different PCI
slots and a new working HDD image all yield the same results.
Error 7/7.
It's the MB isn't it? Or Power Supply? Now that I read back what I've done,
it has to be.
How irritating.
The MB has needed replacing since the dawn of man. I've had about enough
of it. Perhaps I should get something else. It's a Gigabyte Ultra one...
what's the model...? KX9S or something? You know the ones...
Grrr... ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.

Hi Kim,
If you're looking for something more modern, I'm using an Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA
with no problems. The only issue might be that the ATA slots are in the
way of full length cards. If you use the SATA plugs or a Magma, I think
you'd be fine.
I'm running Windows 98 and Windows XP with PARIS, no problem.
I wish I had some advice for how to fix your existing computer.
Good luck!
Mike

Hi Kim,
I think the older Magmas are around $300. Be sure to get the cable and the
optional overhead fans if you decide to get one.
As for the older Athlon 64, it has to be an AM2 CPU, and the ram will have
to be DDR2 to work. I'm using an X2 3800 with DDR2-800 ram. I bought the
cpu for less that $75, and the 4 GB of the ram could be bought for $40 these
days.
Be aware that once you get above 1GB of ram, you can't get into Windows 98
safe mode anymore. If you mess it up, you just have to reinstall or restore
a ghost image. :)
Hope this helps,
Mike

2 questions man....
1: How are you dealing with the x2 part of that equation, and
2: couldn't you just pull some RAM instead of laying an image?

Hi Aaron,
>1: How are you dealing with the x2 part of that equation,
I figured out how to get PARIS to work in a dual CPU machine. Hasn't crashed
once, except for when I feed it bad effect code I'm working on. :)
>2: couldn't you just pull some RAM instead of laying an image?
Yes, but that would involve getting out of my chair. :)
All the best,
Mike
