None of them seem to work. Is there a driver > availible for the Prosignia VS ? Yes, the aha. Unfortunately you also need an Adaptec 1542 :-(, there is no driver for the integrated SCSI controller. 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
