Support Note: 299
Product: Apocalypse 5D, Apocalypse 5D Sonic
Operating System: Windows 95
Subject: Compatibility issues with IBM Aptiva PCs19th November, 1997
Apocalypse 5D and Apocalyps 5D Sonic are not compatible with a part of the IBM Aptiva range.
The following IBM Aptiva models are affected:
- 6887-YAN
- 6587-GAV
- 2168-162
These models don't recognise the PCI-to-PCI bridge used on the Apocalypse cards, which means, the onboard Aptiva graphics chip is not disabled, resulting in no video from the Apocalypse card.
IBM are aware of this issue but can offer no work-around.
