I have a one-card system going smoothly, with the EDS card in slot 3 of 4.
Still unable to get through to the Asus people about IRQs, still trying.

Today I will try the one EDS card in the other three slots, one by one. If
things go well in each slot, can I just throw all four of my EDS cards in
their at once (I still have the four of them linked together with little EDS
cables, just the same as I pulled them out), or is there some special
routine I have to follow? The manual doesn't make utter sense to me on this
point, somehow...

During boot up does your bios show you what IRQ's it is assigning to your
card? It might say "multimedia device" or something like that. There's
no routine, you can put as many eds cards in as long as EVERY slot you put
them in is not shared with other devices. If the slot is shared with stuff
like onboard audio, usb etc turn them off in the bios to free the slot from
IRQ conflicts if you will be using that slot.

If you can see irq info on bootup you can try each slot and see what comes
up as shared. Also, run msinfo32.exe from Start / Run and see what IRQs
are doing what under Hardware.

It's all about the god damn irqs !!!

Like I said before, that particular screen flashes by almost subliminally.

I had great success today with one EDS card, trying it in one PCI slot at a
time, all four PCI slots, no problems. I'll throw all four in there and see
what happens. I'll check the msinfo thingie befoe I boot up Paris. It will
tell me if IRQs are shared, right?

er.. do you know you can hit the pause key on the keyboard and stop it? Just
hit the spacebar when you're ready to go again.
Sorry I didn't mention that before. Or alternately you could point a video
cam at it.

Ummm.....I'm too poor to afford a video cam.

To be honest, EMU discontinuing Paris was one of the best things that ever
happened to me. Cheap parts, ya know....

By "pause key", you mean the key that says "pause" & "break"?

I know I seem ignernt. I'm sorry.

Jimmy

On this morning's boot-up, I didn't even see the screen in question.

Should I disable "quick boot-up" in the BIOS?
