RE: OT: PC problem that is driving me mad!

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the suggestions. It turns out that slots four and six
share their (PCI) interrupt line with the on-board USB host controller.
Either the USB controller or the Adaptec SCSI controller doesn't
properly conform to the PCI 2.1 spec as moving the card to slot 5 seems
(fingers crossed) to have solved the problem :)

Tim.
