Also, I just realized that it's actually an AT-1700T Plus, not just a vanilla AT-1700. Does that matter? >I'd suggest trying the ed device driver first; it's pretty generic. I tried the ed0 driver, after first changing the card's settings to IRQ 5 port addr 0x280 boot rom addr 0xd8000 The installation program still doesn't recognize the card. I have another card that also doesn't work. It's a 3Com 3C509B. I have a plain 3C509 that does work, but the rev B card isn't recognized when using the 3C509 driver. Any suggestions? In general, I'm having trouble finding cards that are listed on the list of supported hardware. They seem to be older cards that have been replaced by newer revs. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Greg
