A short time ago I tried just such a card in a compaq 286 8mghz, all was fine, when I moved to a 386 25mghz then a 33mghz I experienced all kinds of r-f radio frequency problems. Upon bootup the config.sys was rewritten to be 3 lines of zzzzzz (like it was snoozing) I tried all kinds of things but only when I placed it in the last slot did it quite such an antic. Since then I have heard of other similar probs. Too bad, was a great little board other than that "little" problem, good luck. gordon. oh yes, changed to a different card all together.

I have a PD II and have not had rf problems, but I had a NEC GB-1 that would make my hard drive go wild when it was in an adjacent slot, and in high res mode. The PD II DOES have heat problems. I have to find a way to keep it a little cooler, or the picture jitters in 1024x768 mode. Any suggestions on retro-fitting extra fans onto a tower case? It has an extra fan grill, but it is on top, and the boards are on the bottom of the machine. Doesn't seem like it would help. -Pete
