  1. Heyz. I've got this reeaally anoying problem with win2k. I installed it fine and dandy, all working after i used that tinywiny .inf Via recently shared with us. Now, today i had to remove my cdrom and to my surprise, win2k took forever to load. I looked @ the lights of my Yamaha CDrecorder and it was blinking like it used to, but now it just kept blinking. When it finished booting and i get to explorer, to my amazement my cdr wasn't there. Acording to my Event Viewer the error was this: "The device, \Device\Scsi\flashpnt1, did not respond within the timeout period. " Source : flashpnt this error is allover the event viewer pane, with timestamps with 11 seconds of interval. Now, it all worked *before* I removed the cdrom (an hitachi model), but when i boot *after* removing it (i disabled it prior to physical removal) the scsi board just went catatonic on me. My setup is as follows: 1st mainboard with viatech chipset (sorry but i can't seem to find out what particular chipset) AMD K6-2 350 Diamond Viper 550C Buslogic Flashpoint Scsiboard 2 HDs (one on IDE1, other on IDE2) 1 CD-Rom (hitachi, on IDE1) Yamaha cdr200 (not sure about the model, it burns @ 2x and reads @ 6x...pretty old) i think it's all that matters thx for any help
  2. Actually the NT 4.0 drivers work rather well, on my Via chipset with a Diamond Viper... I believe that the problem is with Via's implementation, because the problem seems to be in the AGP interface. The same incompatibility appeared on 95/98 (i think it was corrected on SE), and it was indeed a via tech's problem. A simple "driver" solved the problem. I guess that the only thing to do is to wait for via to release some drivers for win2k...i just hope it doesn't take too long...
