In the mean time, I'd try changing the >shared memory address to something different and possible look at your ISA bus >timing and make sure it isn't too fast. I have one here that works OK (tested with 2.0.5 and 2.1). It'd be nice though if the PnP settings could be read by the driver. The only problem I've found is that disabling PnP with the DOS utility that comes with the card doesn't seem to work properly. This might be a problem with the PnP code in the BIOS on the ASUS boards I've tried it in though (one was a recent P/I-P55TP4XE). David
