Well, I don't like them either. I was just curious about how many people had got round to running systems with none. I have a Triton on my BSDI box, and once I get the latest X server and a new SCSI controller, I'll be left with just an ISA Ethernet board, but I just can't see any reason to change that. > Darn, I just figured out that with a Triton II chipset and USB > Universal Serial Bus ( http://www.intel.com/IAL/pccomm/index.htm) > the only thing that I would have on a ISA slot is my GUS PnP :( There we go. Looks like ISA is not long for this Earth. Greg
