Hi

Has anybody TBS6984 running on an Intel DZ77GA-70K mainboard? It's not displayed on the BIOS devices screen (where I can see other PCI-E addin cards), nor is there any sign in device manager of it. The same card is detected on other mainboards, so it is basically ok. I also tried other PCI-E slots, some BIOS settings, removing other addin cards etc, but it simply isn't detected at all. Mainboard has the latest BIOS installed and on the other side is working flawlessly with other PCI-E addin cards (although I do not have any other PCI-E 1.0a cards, only 2.0, but according to Intel there is no issue with 1.0a).
Any ideas?

Hi LSD

We have got the latest news that Intel has updated the BIOS to support PCI-E 1.0a,so
would you mind having a check your mainboard's latest BIOS.

Kind Regards

I'm already on Build 0053, dated September 05, so that is the latest BIOS available, but still the same result, there is also no sign of any PCI-E 1.0a fixes in the change log. Do you know which version should fix it?

Hi LSD

Sorry about this,Intel will release it soon ,Here is the detail information which we
contact with Intel:

Intel meanwhile confirmed to fix the PCIe1.0a BIOS bug on the 7series
boards.
The new BIOS will be released soon, they don't release any BETA Bios to a
third party. It just will just go through Intel's internal approval process
and should be released soon.

So Please just wait the Intel BIOS update.

Kind Regards

ah ok, I have access to beta BIOS releases from Intel, but there was non at the time I started the thread, let's see what Intels FAE has to offer

Thanks

Hi LSD

Thanks for your update.
And if you have got the beta BIOS,Please send your test report here.

Kind Regards

sure, the only thing is there is currently no internal beta BIOS on the Intel intranet, do you have any version info, or if you are in contact with the BIOS guys, it would be nice if they could publish it internally

Is there any more information on this? I bought this tuner card because it seemed it would 'just work' and it 'just doesn't'. I am not averse to a little BIOS hackery, so if there's anything that can be done from EFI...

There is still no internal BETA Bios on the intranet, so don't expect anything soon

but now build 0057 is here and it is WORKING
but attention, you might loose support for your installed memory as I did, I had to change my modules for now
