 Last reviewed: March 28, 1997
Article ID: Q159229
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

On IBM Carolina computers with an onboard S3 video adapter and an additional S3 765 video adapter, the onboard adapter is detected first.

Also, Windows NT 4.0 may not start under this configuration.

CAUSE

This is a known issue with the IBM Carolina. IBM does not currently support the S3 765 chip set on this computer.

RESOLUTION

Please contact IBM for information regarding firmware updates.

Windows NT 4.0 has been tested on this computer with the S3 764, 864, and 964 chip sets.

MORE INFORMATION

The Carolina firmware contains a routine to place the S3 765 chip set into 764 compatibility mode. This effectively makes the chip set invisible to the ARC hardware detection.
