Point the Crynwyr NE2000 packet driver at it and see whether it finds it. If it does, then it looks like the 'ed' driver is losing, otherwise perhaps it's not an 8390-compatible. > Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org, taob@ican.net) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
