I also disabled card PnP. Config. program reported 300 in use by other hardware. I rebooted and attempted to detect using FreeBSD boot floppy but still no joy. Changed address to 310 and still nothing - but card checks out ok with config program and registers at the hub while testing. Also, BIOS have assigned all IRQ's to PnP so I tried assigning IRQ 10 to EISA/ISA, didn't work then either. Any ideas where I'm going wrong here? TIA Chris R.
