FAQ. This is the result of having a 9302 terminator, whichg asserts
SACK, and a missing NPR jumper somewhere. Either you have a card
missing, or you've put a card that doesn't pass NPR into a slot where
previously there was a card that did (or you've put a small grant card
where you should have a full-size one). Ethan mentioned this in
response to one of your posts recently, and Tony (on more than one
occasion) explained in detail why this has the effect it does.
