Nope, that's not it.  The termination is religious, except that it's not a
slick terminator.

It works fine under DOS.  It also works under the 102095 SNAP floppy (or at
least it was able to newfs filesystems and the like).

I would very much like to be able to install a new set of drivers without
upgrading the OS.  The machine in question is a production news server and
taking it down is bad enough...  doing an upgrade at the same time would be
rather painful.  Is there any way I could just upgrade the driver?  (which
files do I need?)

Thanks for any suggestions,

... Joe
