My first post and I'd like some help please.
Been getting into vintage computing recently (Im old enough that I used similar hardware back in the day) and I have a weird issue I cant solve.
Motherboard: Soyo SY-4SAW2 with Am5x86-P75
Soundcard: Labway ES1868F Ess Audiodrive
Whenever I install this soundcard into this motherboard the first boot is fine, soundcard works perfectly. However the problems come on the second boot, where the computer hangs on the updating ESCD screen. Doesnt display the updating message, hangs right before there.
I've tried PnP on or off in the BIOS, disabled all onboard devices etc. Running latest BIOS. Soundcard works perfectly in another motherboard with no such hanging (GA-586ATM/P).
I've come to a tentative conclusion that either the motherboard is faulty, or has a particular issue with the PnP BIOS and this card. Motherboard works fine without the soundcard and works well on first boot with soundcard.
Anyone got any ideas or info? Thanks in advance.
