hi anybody?

Code 10 problems.....they definitely SUCK....I'm going start with a quick description of where I'm at.

I have two PC's.....both generate "Code 10 errors" when I try to re-install an External IEEE 1394 SBP2

BusLink CD_RW.

Both PC's are running Windows 2k Pro.

The Tyan Box is the newer of the two.....
Mboard is Tyan 2462ung....This is a AMD Dual 1400Mhz.Processor Server Board
1 Gbyte Ram.
Came with no Firewire Ports....so an add-on Pci Card is required.

The CD-RW actually worked at least for a short while....Then, I crashed the OS..I re-installed over existing

OS....w/ new SID ...(I forgot I had a backup stored on it...LOL) So, I've been re-establishing new links, etc to

all my OLD programs......(most were in other partitions...but not all).
Currently this box is nearly complete.

Service packs...yes up to SP4.....just chasing this problem.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The other box is my Intel Box....a little older
MBoard is a Intel L440GX.....(dual 700 Mhz processor)...A server board
256 Kbyte Ram
No Firewire ports...So add on is required.

This box has not been a problem....running fine. So I thought that if I could get the CD-RW to work
on it maybe I could fix the the Tyan Box....

So I've chased down most every SP pack and driver upgrade I can find...Still no LUCK....except BAD

I've seen some suggestion for the ASUS mother boards where re-setting the BIOS was successful for a

similar CODE 10 problem (different device).

I've also seen a successful Utility program with a file named "TOGGLE" (toggle.exe)...which was provided for

some Nvdia device. A guy in France has a FTP site.....It's still ther...so I down loaded it.

Haven't tryed it......

I've seen some discussion about a need for more resources (IRQ's). And some suggestions to pull all your

cards out and/or move the Firewire card to a different slot.

I haven't seen a real "Honest to goodness Fix".....

A lot of people have these Code 10 problems....some are USB...some Firewire....mostly different
External devices.....

So where am I at now.?....Pretty much lost I guess.

If I haven't tried to correct this (Code 10) on one machine, then I did tried it on the other. Still no real fix.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

AS of now...I'm thinking to pull the firewire card...power up, power down, then reinstall firewire card.

First I'll try this on one box and thern maybe the other...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If I find a sure fire fix ...I'll be back to post it....In the mean time if anybody else finds a real SURE Fire Fix

Let Me Know...

thanks in advance, to any and all
