PCI-5102 not being detected with Tyan S1857 371 Trinity motherboard

[Anonymous]

Hello.

I am having a problem with the PCI-5102 not being detected when using
a Tyan S1857 (371 Trinity, BIOS ver 2.0.4) motherboard. On another
computer (IBM M41), The card is detected and works fine.

The card does not appear in the Device Manager.
Even after a "Scan for hardware changes" is done, it is not detected.

I have tried using :
Windows 2000 SP4.
Windows xp SP1.

I have tried different PCI-5102 cards, all of which are know to be
functional.
To no avail.

Any ideas anyone ?

What version of the NI-Scope driver do you have on that machine? There was a fix in the latest version of NI-Scope for the 5102 on certain faster PCs. You can get the latest version at:

We haven't specifically tested that motherboard so we don't have any known issues with it.

I tried 2.1 and 2.6, but the problem is even before that. Meaning the PCI detection on startup doesn't even see the card.

We have tried this on a Tyan S1854 Trinity 400 motherboard (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/a_s1854_spec.html) with Win98 and did not have any problems. The card was recognized just fine.

I'm guessing that you have already tried several different slots. Do other PCI cards work fine in those same slots?

Correct

> Do other PCI cards work fine in those same slots?
Yes.

BTW. Attached are the e-mails exchanged with the people from Tyan. If this can be of any help.


Thanks again.
