The controller i was using came from a system i had built that was using tsx ( a bbs). When i configured for that system i had to use a non standard configuration base address. When i set the card back to the defualt values the card was recognized by free bsd. thanks for all your help. eric At 03:46 AM 2/19/98 -0800, John-Mark Gurney wrote: >Jordan K.
