2.27 PCI and ISA Slots

There are 5 PCI slots and 2 ISA slots. All PCI slots can be used as master.

But since the 1st and 5th PCI slots share the same bus master signal, only

one of these slots can be used as a master at a time; which means that if a

master card is installed in PCI slot 1, PCI Slot 5 can only accomodate a slave

card, and vice versa.

NOTE: 1. If on-board Creative sound is not installed, then all 5 PCI slots

can use Bus Master cards.

2. If on-board Creative sound is installed, then PCI slots 2, 3 and

4 can still use Bus Master cards. However, only one of PCI

slots 1 and 5 can use a Bus Master card at a time.
