2.27 PCI and ISA Slots
There are 5 PCI slots and 2 ISA slots. All PCI slots can be used as master. If
there’s an on-board Creative chip, the 1st and 5th PCI slots will share the
same bus master signal. Therefore 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.
