As far as I can tell, the card doesn't even support PNP.... The driver disk that came with the card's 3c509cfg utility doesn't have any option for PNP, and when I downloaded a new copy (3c5x9cfg) from their www site, it doesn't seem to have any effect on anything. The card still behaves EXACTLY the same, whether PNP is supposedly enabled or disabled. I just set up a new machine (a 486DX2/80) and tried installing the 3c in it. It did the same thing as in the 150. It doesn't find it. I also tried putting it in the machine in the den... again, Windows95 doesn't find an IRQ, and when I took the hard drive from hobbes (the /80) into the den, FreeBSD doesn't find ep0. Now, does this card really have PNP, and the software is just not disabling it? Why did it work in the Pentium 120 just fine? I'm really confused on this one. Later...... <Doug>
