(Let me know if > my math was wrong.) I have the 3c507 DOS executable that programs the card, and I have done so. Maybe the problem is that I don't know quite what "64K chunk from 0xc0000 to 0xeffff" means. I assume it's a peice of memory specified in hexidecimal, but I don't have any clue how to determine which peices are available for me to use. Also, I don't really know specifically what "port address" means, although I can assign them and I do know which ones are available in that case. Anyone know of a good book or online docs that explain this kind of thing? Anyway, would you suggest I just try many different 16K chuncks of RAMbase until the card is found by the kernel? Kenneth J.
