Ultra/66 and SCSI cards and drives on the same system
I have an ABIT BX6, 2.0 motherboard with a Promise ULTRA/66 card and a Western Digital 18 gig HDD as well as a SIIG SCSI card and a Seagate 500 meg HDD. If the SCSI card is in a lower PCI slot and the ULTRA/66 card in a higher PCI slot, then they work well independent of the SCSI BIOS being enabled or disabled. If the SCSI bios is disabled, then the ULTRA/66 HDD is the bootable "C" drive. If the SCSI bios is enabled, then the SCSI HDD is the bootable "C" drive. However, if the ULTRA/66 card is in a lower PCI slot and the SCSI in a higher PCI slot, the system hangs during bootup regardless if the SCSI BIOS is enabled or disabled. I would like the ULTRA/66 HDD to be the "C" drive with the SCSI BIOS enabled so I can boot from the "A" drive if need be. This can only occur with the system recognizing the the ULTRA/66 card before the SCSI card but therein lies the problem. If I disconnect the SCSI HDD, then of course the system works so long as the SCSI card is in a lower PCI slot, but then I have no SCSI HDD.
I have the latest flash bios for both ABIT M.B., and Promise card. SIIG does not have a flash bios capability for the card I'm using. I am running Windows98 and have all the current Windows drivers as well. Also, attached to the SCSI card is a CD-ROM and an external ZIP drive.
Any solutions??
