No. 10) and tried everything I could find in the BIOS config. instructions. It just didn't want to play ball - on boot the computer couldn't see the 3c509. However, as there were only 2 cards (PCI - video & ISA - 3C509) I don't know if only the network card was effected by it. I'll check that out when I recieve my next machine. > The board I used to replace it was the previously mentioned Micronics > "Twister" baby AT which seems to be working just fine. Different BIOS, right? Sure is, the micronics Twister Baby AT has Award modular bios v4.51PG and The "Made In the USA" has American Megatrends AMIBIOS but as the board is no longer plugged in anywhere I am not sure about revision number. All this is no doubt about something I didn't chant correctly at the bootstrap ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
