I installed one of these fairly recently, and had to do a *lot* of messing around with Compaq configuration floppies to make it recognise the Adaptec, telling it which slot it was in, IRQs, mem, DMA etc (or some subset thereof). It eventually installed, and is now working fine, though the whole experience increased my bias towards Compaq somewhat. Once installed, the lnc driver can be used for ethernet. John
