Hello,
Another issue I am having is I can't seem to get my mediator, or system to recognize that I have a voodoo 5500 plugged into it.
When I run PCIINFO, it lists the ethernet card I installed in it, but not the voodoo.
It was suggested to me that the cards are sometimes not seated all the way into the slot.
I disconnected the mediator board and tried plugging in voodoo 5500 card into it outside the machine. One thing I noticed is it doesn't seem to seat in as tightly or evenly as the other cards. I looked up a picture of a voodoo 5500 PCI card online to look at the picture of the plug to make sure I bought the right card... and it appears to be correct.
When its plugged in, I can press down on one side of the plug and watch it lift slightly out on the other side. If I push firmly on the other side I can watch it lift slightly on the opposite side. So I end up just pushing it in evenly in the middle (the best I can).
A few years back I originally bought a voodoo 3000 card and I could also never get the mediator to recognize it. I just assumed it was a bad card so I saved up this year and bought the Voodoo 5500 PCI which was listed as perfect working condition.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dan
