Hi guys,

So far I was using my Montego II without any issues on my SS7 system with Windows 98 SE. Via Amibay I bought a new digital I/O upgrade bracket and tried to get it running on my system. However, I cannot get it running.

Once I install the upgrade drivers Windows hangs upon booting. I get to see the cursor and the green background but then it freezes. If I plug the Montego II into another PCI slot Windows boots so far as it detects a new hardware, asks for driver installation and after installing the drivers again freezes when it restarts. So I guess somehow the drivers for the I/O upgrade are somehow bugged.

Does anyone else have the same issue? Any ideas how to fix it or a workaround?

Also what I am trying to understand is the difference between the Montego II home studio edition and my Mentego II with the I/O upgrade bracket purchaes seperately. Is it the same or are there any differences?

Thanks for your help!

The driver set when using the digital I/O upgrade is different and the standard drivers will not work.

I have the drivers. Not sure if I uploaded them to vogonsdrivers or not through.

I used the specific upgrade drivers included with the package which cause windows to freeze.

Hmmm... Did you uninstall the other drivers first?

I did actually upload mine including the manual, etc. to vogonsdrivers:

I made a new windows installation. I'll try your drivers, maybe there are different versions...

After trying many things I finally managed to solve the problem. For some reason the Montego II + SPDIF Upgrade together won't work on the last PCI slots. The Montego II without the SPDIF Upgrade worked perfectly on the last PCI slot, just together for some reason they don't work there. After plugging it into PCI slot number 3 everything worked like a charm.
