I would like to review the changes to enable 0WS in the 'ed' driver with the hope of getting my cards to work at 0WS. Can you tell me where to find those changes? I've got the databook for the chipset on that 486 motherboard I mentioned earlier, the one I'm running at 50MHz local bus and 12MHz ISA bus. I'm going to poke around in the chipset registers to see how fast I can make it run without exploding. It has 8 ISA slots, so who knows, maybe I can jam six SMC Ultra ethernet adapters, a video card, and a disk controller in the thing and set a record for ISA bus ethernet routing. I've got to do something with all these SMC Ultra adapters stacked up in my closet. :-) >The only other cards that I've met with 0WS jumpers have had >loud warnings in the manual involving fire and the loss of your >first-born. If the hardware ain't smoking, IT'S RUNNING TOO SLOW! John
