I guess I just made up my mind about trashing my main board for something new or different as the original cpu installed in it was a Cyrix 686 which was acting up (I have a Pentium installed at the moment which a friend is lending me). As it will not be easy to find a replacement cpu for the main board and the main board apparently is sorta flaky as far as PCI functions go. As it turns out I just picked up a Gateway with a 133mhz Pentium which is working rather nicely. FreeBSD picks up the PCI cards very nicely also. I will be picking up a PCI to USB card shortly. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks again, Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
