NEC Solution Gear 2 Series Development Kit Hardware Restrictions and Limitations
If you are using the Permedia3 video card, it will only work if you use either of the two 3.3V slots, which are PCI slots 1 and 2.
If you are using the TVIA5000 video card, use either of the of the two 5V PCI slots, which are PCI slots 3 and 4.
Note Ensure that there is a jumper on JP3.
The PCI INTC routed through the ALI M1535+ chip on the baseboard does not work properly. The PCI card using this interrupt will not work. This situation occurs only with a special card or when the PCI extension box is used because the interrupt is not attached to the PCI INTA signal on any baseboard PCI slot.
