I have a SZ959 CPU (intel DX4-100 Overdrive, 5v, 33x3) and a SK051 (intel DX4-100, 3.3v, 33x3) and a DIGIS-486GL Motherboard. I have a 1MB VLB Mach32 VIdeo card & a VLB floppy/IDE/multi I/O card. Motherboard installed with 16MBs of RAM (8x2).
When set to 33x3 (running @ 100MHz) the IDE connection from the controller card does not work. If set to 25x3 (running @ 75MHz) everything works all happy. I have the Video card in the VLB slot furthest away from the keyboard port. I have the VLB controller card in the VLB slot closest to the keyboard port.
If I use a 16-bit floppy/IDE/multi I/O card while running @ 100MHz, everything works all happy once again..
My question is, why is this happening?! lol I want to use the VLB card.. its probably something stupid I'm overlooking so Im hoping a fresh set of eyes on the situation might point it out.
There is a VLBus speed setting >33MHz & <=33MHz.. it is currently set to <=33MHz (doesnt seem to post when changed.
I've also tried switching VLB slots, in almost all configurations wit the two cards.
For refferance I have the following.

controller card has following identifications:
UN-1085/UN-1086
FCC ID: 102-W83759AA
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
