Boca Research PCI Ethernet *sucks* the Big One

Boca Research PCI Ethernet *sucks* the Big One

Post by Wilson T » Wed, 10 May 1995 04:00:00



Does *anybody* have a Boca Research PCI working in a 100mhz Pentium ?

I cannot even get the Card's dos software to see the card - it comes
back with an error message when running bencfg.exe :
         " Missing or Nonfunctional Ben1pi Controller"

After wasting time and $$ calling Boca ( of *course* there's no
1-800-... phone number !  - expect at least a 20 minute wait at the
hightest prime time phone rates ), they simply told me to return the
card to the dealer.

The funny thing is, I also have an ISA version running in a 486 which
works fine.

p.s. I am using an ASUS p54sp4 mother board with Stealth 64dram PCI.

**** DO NOT BUY A BOCA RESEARCH PCI FOR YOUR PENTIUM ******
