PCI Bridge support and the i960RP

[Raj Patel <rajp@pacbell.net>]

I have an adapter design which uses the Intel i960RP processor to form 
a bridge between the primary and secondary PCI buses, the device
conforms
to revision 2.1 of PCI Specification.   I see two problems:

1.  With some PCs, the adapter causes the PC to stall early into the
BIOS
(well before the operating system installs).  To date, only PCs that
successfully complete the BIOS are machines with AMI BIOS.  I suspect
that
problem is either with multi-function device or PCI Bridge support
required of the BIOS by the i960RP chip.

  - Has anyone experience problems using the i960RP with various
versions of
    BIOS?
  - Am I seeing an implementation problem which requires that a specific
PC 
    (or BIOS) be used with this adapter card?

2.  If the BIOS completes, Windows 95 initializes, it detects the
hardware 
but conflicting memory resources are reported and the device driver is
not 
installed.  I suspect that this is a result of Windows 95 PCI bridge 
support and information reported by the BIOS.  This may be a Windows 95
or 
BIOS issue, any information regarding bridge support in Windows 95 would 
be useful.  

Thanks in advance
