Under 2.1.5, with the supplied driver, with Guido's new driver from freefall and with another driver from Fred Gray this card does not run after a cold reset or powerup on the machine in question. Another warm boot is required to make this card run with all three drivers. Has anybody an idea what to try or where to look ? Is technical documentation available for this card somewhere ? hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?
