Hmm - i scanned ftp.adaptec.com today, but i found nothing with a version no of 3.1. What i found was indeed a new set of EISA config files and overlays. My current EISA config allows me to set the IRQ via Control-R. The "new" ones allow me to set the IRQ in the "normal" config mode when i have to choose standard or enhanced mode. And - SURPRISE ! - it also allows me now to set level or edge interrupts. What did i have with my "old" config - level or edge ? And what are the pro's and con's of level or edge, is there a recommendation ? hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?
