Hi,


I've had a Promise Fasttrack 2000 for years and today I bought another
raid card in hopes of creating another mirror. The problem is either
one or the other card shows up but not both. I have swapped the cards
around in the PCI slots and still only one or the other. I presume
they are sharing the same IRQ or something. I don't think I can change

the IRQ setting on either card. I really don't want to have to buy a

4-port raid card if possible, especially because I already have the
gear, I just need to make it work.


Thanks!

No not at random either way. What I meant what either one card will
work in the bus or the other..But if both are in it appears 100% of the
time the Promise card takes over. If I take the Promise card out the
other one will show.

I emailed Promise and they have me a pretty unhelpful response about
this...Basically they told me to turn off onboard devices and that may
fix it- you know- like my sound card and other things I use. Thats a
good idea.
