Thanks Mike, there's been some interest in alternatives to HPT on linux-abit
list. So as you said I could forward it, I will.
Cheers, Rob

Thanks for responding. I'm very interested in what you post, but
first I must say that it really doesn't relate to what I intended to
say in my message.

My message was warning about a design "feature" of the board that
limits the total number of bus mastering boards in PCI slots 4 and 5
to one. This was not explained at all in my manual, and needs to be
made very clear to all who might try to sonfigure a BP6 system.

What you say is true, but Abit went into denial on the problems, broke the
GPL on Gentus, by including Andre's updated driver and didn't even show him
the source. Finally on the Rev 1.1 their return policy was

Stop! As far as I know, they have offered:

case it will take us 3 to 4 weeks
