Subject: TNT2-card did not boot

    Hi,

    Iīve been trying to install a new PCI graphic card with TNT2-M64 chip in
    my PC164LX but on boot not even the bios mesages were shown. The screen
    was just black and the monitor got into powerdown mode. This happend
    with two cards of different manufacturers and in different PCI-slots of
    the board. The Matrox Millenium II works flawlessly.
    Personaly I suspect the firmware was unable to initialize the card. The
    machine is running
    Alphabios 5.62.
    I didnīt try a firmware update yet.

    Can anyone give an enlightening comment on this?

    Tia,
            Thomas
