CT4520 installed in NT4 on the P2B-DS. My preferred USB solution choked during installation, though. Apparently the IONetworks drivers don't support multiprocessor setups! I have a couple of alternatives to try, but it won't be the end of the world if they don't work either.

Did the sensible thing and abandoned NT3.51 on the P2B-DS. Upgraded to NT4 and, after a false start with the video card, got both the RTL8139 and Permedia 2v installed. CT4520 left for another day.

Failed miserably to get Permedia 2 and RTL8139 working in NT3.51 on the P2B-DS board. Various stuff failing to start according to Event Viewer. Further investigation required, I suppose.

Today I am giving up on the P2B-DS + slotkets combo as it's clearly not gonna work. I'm assuming one of the MS-6905s is faulty but I've no way of diagnosing which one (they both work singly but refuse to cooperate in dual mode). I'll refit the twin slot 1 700mhz PIIIs and then decide what sort of OS …

I would have thought the MS-6905 Master ver 2 would work. Yes they should. In fact there was recently an ebay listing for basically the same setup in working order - the only difference being the bundle on sale was using twin 1000/256/100 SL5QV CPUs. I even tried setting all jumpers to exactly the …

Longtime lurker here feeling the need to trouble you fine fellows with my problems :confused: First of all, the hardware: P2B-DS rev 1.06, BIOS 1014 beta 003 2 x MS-6905 ver 2 2 x P3 900/256/100 SL4SD [stepping C0] Now, I'm very much under the impression the above combination of gear should happily …

I have a 1266S Tualatin. I have an incompatible 815e board. Methinks I need a Lin-Lin.
