Hardware Compatibility Check

1) Definitely : Software does NOT degrade Hardware ;

2) Using software to violate hardware recommendations (like writing out-of-range values to video-card registers) is not an excuse ;

3) The most probable couse for your problem is the SCSI card - which , as you say , is made for COMPAQs ;

4) You MUST (or should) double-check the Hardware-Compatibility-List provided by the manufacturer of the SCSI card ;

5) As a general rule, have in mind that ANY hardware from major manufatcurers (eg. COMPAQ, IBM, HP, DELL) is crafted specifically for their equpiments ;

5.1) using their boards/parts on generic PC is strongly discouraged ;

5.2) using generic boards/parts on their PCs is strongly discouraged as well ;

6) my strongest advice at this time is to remove your scsi card and use your equpiment for a while (even without backups), just to prove that it runs alright without it ;

good luck, and success !

IY(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     IY(4)

NAME
iy -- Intel EtherExpress PRO/10 Ethernet driver (Intel i82595) SYNOPSIS
iy0 at isa? port {port} irq ? DESCRIPTION
The iy device driver supports the EtherExpress PRO/10 card, and might support other ISA cards using the same chip. MEDIA SELECTION
The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45, BNC and AUI connectors. Supported media include: AUI/DIX Standard 15 pin connector 10Base2 BNC, also known as thin-net 10BaseT UTP, also known as twisted pair The default port to use is the port the card autodetects at ifconfig up time. To choose an alternative port, an explicit medium can be spec- ified to ifconfig(8) or in your ifconfig.iy? file. NOTES
The EtherExpress PRO card has no jumpers to set the address. Intel supplies software to set the address of the card in software. You have to hardwire this address in your kernel configuration file. SEE ALSO
ed(4), eg(4), el(4), ep(4), intro(4), ix(4), le(4), ifconfig(8) STANDARDS
