The interrupt problems have gone a way a bit since I stole irq 7 from the printer - 15 is not available on the XG9 as (is frequently is the case) the second IDE controller is used to drive the CDRom. However, I have scraped together 3,4 and 10 for the actual cards... Having lived with things not working perfectly for a year, I dug a little deeper into why I couldn't use SCSI and Ethernet at the same time. It appears that pccardd gives 0x340 to the Linksys card (despite it having loads of IO windows listed when you dumpcis it) - and the Adaptec SlimSCSI will only play if it gets 0x340. Is there a way that you can force the io window on a card in pccard.conf in the same way that you can force an irq? That way, if you put the Ethernet in first, it won't steal the only window that the SCSI needs. I also now have a bizarre problem with the flash card - it gets spotted, and appears as ata4 - but then nothing else; it doesn't become a disc :( I'm still playing with this - I think I just broke something in the new kernel config. Thanks again for the earlier help - I'd forgotten how much fun this could all be! -- Paul.
