I must have VIRTUAL plug & play then.  It never found the ethernet card.  We 
upgraded the video and SCSI card to PCI as well and during the boot up, it 
finds these cards just fine, but not the 3Com card.

Heh.  That is much easier:  just plug it in.  The PCI bus implements REAL
plug & play.  It'll be found and configured on startup.  If you need to
make IRQ changes, you do that through BIOS setup.
