Hi all,

I want to use a 64 bit PCI board on my system which uses an ASUS P2L97
mother board. The PCI specs says a 64 bit PCI board should plug gracefully
into a 32 bit PCI connector, but it does not.

The problem seems to be due to the following:

PCI 32 recommended connector:

| |--------------...-----------| |
>-< 1.27 [.050] mm

PCI 32 connector of the PL297 MotherBoard:

| |--------------...-----------| |
>-< >= 1.80 mm (measured +- 1mm)

If somebody could confirm that or let me know if I may have missed
something important, this will help me.

Thanks.

Regards,
Gérard.
