[TUHS] DG/UX user/admin around?

Hi,

Just a question.

How did you checked the PCI bus and slot numbers?
Counting physically on the motherboard?

If this is the case you're doing it wrong.

The chipset could have various buses and slot numbers and so what appears physically to be slot 0 can easily be bus 2 slot 6.
