ISA/PCI POST Debug Card question

[ayandon]

Hello,

Recently I bought a ISA/PCI POST Debug Card from eBay.
I need this card to fix my Pentium 60 MHz + Batman's Revenge Motherboard system.

I tried to test the card with my AMD K6-2 500 MHz + Zida Tomato T530B-S Socket 7 Motherboard system.
When I insert it in the PCI slot, the system ran fine, POST codes shown. All good.
When I insert it in the PCI slot, the system ran fine BUT there was never any POST codes shown.... only that few small status LED blinking.
Pls see the attached images....


It is ok?
Pls suggest.

This is just a guess, but that system uses a PCI to ISA bridge. Maybe it doesn’t get initialized until after POST? Or perhaps it doesn’t provide some of the ISA resources needed for a ISA post card?

Friend, which system are you referring to? Pentium 60 or AMD Socket 7?

I was talking about the socket 7. But I just looked up the chips on the other board and it has a PCI to ISA bridge as well. Pretty common with Pentium or other newer systems with PCI busses.

But like I said, I don’t really know if that’s a problem, just a guess of what it might be. I could dig out a a similar era system with PCI and ISA slots and try it out.
