Hmm. I haven't had a problem with that, and I also have a PCI S3 Trio64.
I did find out that the prom does _not_ like the PCI Millennium II.
I also tripped across the fact that it does not like a HD sitting on SCSI ID
2. I moved it to 3 and everything was peachy.
I did a re-install of R5 last night to upgrade the drives and some hardware
(and to see what a BeOS install looked like). Now I have three SCSI drives
(BeOS on 4Gig, 2Gig, 2Gig) and 128Meg of mem. This is a 603/66MHz box.
